Neighbor arrested after Gulfport couple finds camera in bathroom window, sheriff says
A Gulfport man was arrested Monday after his neighbors found a camera placed outside of their bathroom window, Harrison County Sheriff Troy Peterson said in a news release.
Sheriff’s deputies responded to a home on Windance Drive, where a man said his wife had noticed a camera from inside of the bathroom.
Gary Rhoads, 67, was arrested on a felony Peeping Tom charge as a result of the investigation.
He’s being held at the Harrison County jail on a $25,000 bond set by Justice Court Judge Nick Patano.
If convicted, Rhoads could face up to 5 years in prison under Mississippi’s 2015 statute governing Peeping Tom charges.
