'Peeping Tom' Incident Investigated In Bridgeport: Police
The incident occurred on Feb. 4, and a suspect was arrested on unrelated charges.
BRIDGEPORT, CT — A 61-year-old Bridgeport man was arrested by Bridgeport police on Feb. 4, after authorities said he was "banging on windows and looking into apartments" in the 600 block of Palisades Avenue.
Police were called to the neighborhood, because residents had recently voiced "concerns about 'peeping toms' and attempted burglaries" in the area.
During the investigation, officers found Kevin Tucker, and arrested him on charges of failure to register as a sex offender, and interfering with an officer. He was released after posting a $7,500 bond, and is scheduled to appear in Bridgeport Superior Court on March 4.
