Martin Co. Sheriff
MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. - Florida deputies say a suspected Peeping Tom was caught red-handed while watching a victim sleep in her bed.
The Martin County Sheriff's Office arrested 64-year old Douglas Towns. They say Towns committed lewd acts while peeping in on the unsuspecting victim.
"While Towns thought he was going unnoticed as he slithered around the Jensen Beach neighborhood chasing voyeuristic pleasures by violating victims as they slept, the MCSO eye in the sky captured every peeping moment of his dirty deeds," the sheriff's office wrote on Facebook.
