A Maryland man is facing multiple criminal charges for allegedly peeping into a Franconia resident’s home.
A woman contacted the Fairfax County Police Department on Aug. 7 at 10:25 p.m. to report seeing a man “peeping through her window,” according to a press release.
By the time officers arrived, the man had left the scene, but the woman shared that she “had experienced the same incident” a day earlier.
“After reviewing video footage of the area and other evidence, officers identified the suspect as Landon Anthony Taylor, 42, of Maryland,” the FCPD said in the release. “Warrants were obtained for Taylor on August 7.”
Taylor was arrested on Aug. 14 in Rockville, Maryland, with the help of Montgomery County and Metro Transit police. Currently in custody at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility, he was served warrants for two counts of peeping and one count of stalking, police say.
Though no mugshot is available, the FCPD says detectives are looking to hear from anyone who has additional information about the reported peeping incidents or may have had a similar experience with Taylor.
According to online court records, someone with the name Landon A. Taylor was previously arrested in 2014 on misdemeanor charges of peeping into homes through a door and a peephole. He was released on bond, but warrants were subsequently issued in October 2014, January 2016 and January 2018 after he failed to appear for different court dates.
The 2014 case is listed as “finalized” with a disposition of “fugitive file” following an adjudicatory hearing on July 27, 2018.
