The Sierra Madre Police Department reports that a 37-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of prowling in Sierra Madre. The arrest was made in connection with an incident where a woman reported a man had been looking in her window, according to Sierra Madre Patch.
The incident happened one morning late last month on the 400 block of Sierra Madre Boulevard. A man was reportedly peeping into the window of a female resident's home on the street.

The alleged peeping tom was booked on suspicion of prowling and was held in the city jail on a $5,000 bail.
The Sierra Madre Police Department has been responding to and investigating 10 prowler complaints in that neighborhood. Even though the investigation is still underway, police are looking at the man they've detained in connection with these cases. While police believe they've got the alleged peeping tom, they're still investigating and asking the public for any more information or if they've witnessed a person looking in their window.
The fact that police found this man 15 minutes after they were called to the scene, may mean they have accomplished nothing more than arresting someone for standing in an apartment complex driveway.
