North Las Vegas Cops Search for Peeping Tom
North Las Vegas police are seeking a thirty-two year old male on suspicion of breaking Nevada home invasion law and four peeping Tom incidents. According to authorities, he entered a residential backyard and then spied on women through windows. On two occasions, he allegedly also tried to break into the home by opening a sliding glass door.
Nevada home invasion law makes it a category B felony to forcibly enter a home without permission. It does not matter whether the incident takes place during daylight or not, or whether someone is in the home at the time of the invasion. Someone convicted for breaking Nevada home invasion law faces one to ten years imprisonment and maybe a $10,000 fine (and if the suspect has a deadly weapon, the sentence is raised from two to fifteen years).
Peeping in Nevada is the act of going on another’s property with the intent to spy through a window, door, or other opening in the house. If there’re no deadly weapons or photographic equipment involved, it’s just a misdemeanor. If there’s a camera or similar device present, it’s a gross misdemeanor. And if the suspect has a deadly weapon, it’s a category B felony.
