UGA student scares off peeping Tom

By Joe Johnson

A 22-year-old University of Georgia student was using the restroom of her apartment last week when she caught a man spying on her.

The incident happened at around 7:30 pm on November 5th at the Parkside Cottages complex on Barnett Shoals Road, when the student received a phone alert that someone was near the back door. She went outside to investigate and saw the man running away.

She immediately called the police and a K-9 unit conducted an unsuccessful search for the suspect.

When police reviewed security footage they could see the man crouched down outside the bedroom window and peering through the blinds.

They obtained a screenshot of the man’s face which might help to identify him.
