A man with a history of peeping into homes allegedly did it again — twice.
Police say Herbert Otey, 60, was seen peering into a woman’s home along the 2000 block of Columbia Pike last night. He was arrested and also charged with a peeping incident from earlier in the day.
Otey has been charged with two counts of “Peeping 3+ Offenses within 10 Years,” according to Arlington County police. A crime report from last year says he was arrested for two peeping incidents nearby on Sept. 20, including on the 1900 block of the Pike.
