Peeping Tom Caught on Trail Camera in Louisiana
Mike Bolton 02.22.12
A peeping Tom in West Baton Rouge, La. was caught in the act after his image was captured on a game trail camera set up by the woman’s next door neighbor.
The good neighbor had set up a motion detector in his driveway that alerted him inside of his house when something moved in his driveway, authorities said. When the alarm sounded he looked at the camera and saw a man on all fours peering into his neighbor’s window as she dressed. The man alerted police and when they arrived the man was caught in the act. Images taken from the game camera are expected to be used as evidence.
The man’s bond has been set at $5,000 and he will have to wear an ankle monitoring device when he is released from jail.
