Michigan Peeping Tom uses ladder to climb fence
Warren Police said a man arrested for at least 8 different Peeping Tom crimes used a ladder to easily get over the fence and into the backyards of several homes.
A Michigan man was arrested after he was allegedly caught peeking into the windows of multiple homes in the Detroit area for the past three months.
Marquis Fleming, 41, was charged following a police investigation in Eastpointe, Michigan, into reports of a man using a stepladder and looking into the windows of houses, according to officials. Two of the houses that Fleming returned to had kids inside them, according to FOX 2. Officials say that Fleming is a fourth-offense habitual offender.
After police in Eastpointe obtained doorbell camera footage related to the incident, detectives contacted other departments nearby, learning that the peeping tom incidents also happened in Warren, Oak Park, Harper Woods, and Detroit.
Police tracked Fleming to Oak Park after he was identified as a suspect, where he was allegedly seen tampering with the window of a house.
