Peeping Tom Gets at Least 10 Years

COVINGTON, Ga. - A Peeping Tom has been sentenced to a minimum of 10 years imprisonment after he spied on the house of a police officer who had set a trap for him.
Tracy Edward Johnson, 31, was sentenced Tuesday in Newton County Superior Court on one count of Peeping Tom and one count of criminal trespass. The extended sentence was levied because Johnson had served nearly 10 years on previous kidnapping and auto theft charges, police said.
Johnson was apprehended by Sgt. Mike Bruno, who waited outside Oct. 14, 2003 because he suspected someone had been peeping on his wife. Bruno saw Johnson looking in his bathroom window and had found a table pushed below it outside the house.
When Johnson came to Bruno's house, Bruno fired a warning shot and then held Johnson at gunpoint until authorities arrived.
Johnson maintained he was not peeping, said Investigator Marty Roberts.
"He said he was at the home to answer an ad for a missing dog," Roberts said. "The ad in question only had a phone number, so I wonder how Johnson knew where the Brunos lived."
