Detectives with the Criminal Investigations Division have arrested Emanuel Jermaine Simmons, age 42, of Hughesville, in connection with a ‘Peeping Tom’ case. The investigation began on September 2, at approximately 7 a.m., when a person called police and reported seeing a man outside a ground-floor apartment in the 1100 block of Heritage Place in Waldorf. The suspect was observed looking through a bedroom window while engaging in an indecent act. A witness recorded the incident and reported the suspect leaving in what was initially described as a white vehicle. Through investigation, detectives were able to positively identify the suspect.
