Tallahassee, FL (November 20, 2018) – Police say that a man is currently behind bars in Leon County for exposing himself to a woman after peeping through her bedroom window. The man was identified as 22-year-old Dietrick Sutherland, who was taken into custody for his crimes yesterday, November 19.

The woman called police when she had been changing clothes and noticed that somebody was looking through her bedroom window. The victim ran outside so that she could confront the suspect, which is when she said he was speechless and exposed his penis to her. The victim was soon called in for a lineup, which is where she was able to identify the suspect.

Sutherland has since been charged with indecent exposure in public and voyeurism.
