A Harper Woods incident has led to the arrest of a suspected peeping Tom earlier this week. According to Audacy, Marquis Dwayne Fleming, 43, from Detroit, was arraigned Monday on charges that include surveilling an unclothed person and disorderly person, window peeper. Fleming was reportedly caught early Sunday morning lurking on an air conditioning unit and peering into a home's bedroom window on Elkhart Street.
The resident, whose vigilance led to the arrest, spotted Fleming through a backyard surveillance system around 1:50 a.m. and promptly called the authorities. In a turn of events highlighting the potential inefficacy of current monitoring systems, police found Fleming entrenched in this violation of privacy despite his wearing a GPS tether due to a similar offense in another city. FOX 2 Detroit reported his bond was set at $25,000.00 cash, and he is facing up to 15 years in prison. His Preliminary Examination is scheduled for April 23.
Further complicating the narrative, Harper Woods detectives are actively investigating potential additional cases Fleming may have perpetrated in the area. This information comes after the resident's unsettling discovery and swift notification to law enforcement, which led to the arrest. If the public has any information, they are asked to contact the Harper Woods Police Department at 313-343-2530, an appeal also noted in a social media post from Scanner of Warren.
