According to court documents filed this morning, Mahone, who is in his early 40s and lives in O’Fallon, Missouri, hid in the back of the car directly behind the driver's seat in a parking garage near several government buildings, including St. Charles’ City Hall and Courthouse. When the unidentified female victim got into her car, she started screaming, presumably upon realizing Mahone was in the vehicle.
