Sheriff catches private eye working for Senator David Vitter secretly taping him
He was filming the group, the sheriff said. “He was acting very strange and odd,” Normand said in an interview.
Normand confronted the young man, asking him what he was doing.
“Are you filming me?” the sheriff demanded.
The alleged spy, later identified as Robert J. Frenzel, a private investigator from Dallas who has been doing research for U.S. Sen. David Vitter’s campaign, denied taping the group. But he fumbled with his device and couldn’t stop the sheriff from catching a glimpse of its screen, which Normand said showed a recording application. The sheriff then returned to his table.

The sheriff said he soon learned Frenzel works for J.W. Bearden & Associates, of Texas, which has received $135,000 this year from the Vitter campaign for “legal fees,” according to campaign finance reports. A message seeking comment from the firm was not returned Friday.
