Man accused of taking ‘voyeuristic’ photos in Steamboat Jimmy John’s bathroom barred from restaurant

A protection order was issued Tuesday in the case against Dustin Hyatt, the man accused of taking photos of women in the bathroom at the Steamboat Jimmy John’s, barring him from entering the restaurant.

Hyatt, 47, was charged with 26 counts of invasion of privacy for sexual gratification and 25 counts of criminal attempt on March 20, states a news release from the All Crimes Enforcement Team. All of the charges are misdemeanors.

Officers with the All Crimes Enforcement Team — a task force comprised of officers from the Routt and Moffat county sheriff’s offices, the Steamboat, Craig and Hayden police departments, and the 14th Judicial District Attorney’s Office — “uncovered” that Hyatt was in possession of “voyeuristic” photos.



The photos were of various people in a bathroom, all of whom appeared to be adults and were “largely unidentifiable,” states the news release. After further investigation, the bathroom was identified as the Jimmy John’s bathroom in Steamboat Springs.

During a court appearance on Tuesday, Deputy District Attorney Zach Rosen requested that a protection order be issued without listing specific names of victims, so the anonymous parties are covered as victims and witnesses to the crimes alleged.



Rosen also requested that the address of the Steamboat Springs Jimmy John’s be listed in the protection order.

Routt County Judge Erin Wilson directed that Hyatt “may not have any contact” with the Steamboat Jimmy John’s on Central Park Drive as a condition of his bond, which he posted on March 24 for $10,000, according to District Attorney Matt Karzen.

Hyatt’s next court appearance for this case is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. May 14.
