LOCAL UPDATE - Oakland Mall Perv Arrested

from WDIV Detroit Channel 4

An accused Peeping Tom was arrested Monday morning.

Michael William Moore, 49, of Mount Clemens, is believed to be a man who was caught on surveillance video last month looking into women's dressing rooms at Marshall Field's at Oakland Mall in Troy. Troy police said they received several reports of a man lurking near the dressing rooms.

Marshall Field's security guards recognized the suspect from the video, and discovered him looking into a women's fitting room on Feb. 15, according to Troy police. When the suspect observed officers approaching him, he said, "You caught me!" according to Troy police.

After the arrest, Moore told officers that he does not know why he commits these types of actions. Moore was released pending review of the case by the prosecutor's office. After authorization of a warrant on Moore for two misdemeanor charges, police were unable to locate the suspect. Moore no longer lived at the address he provided to police on Feb. 15.

Police released Moore's photograph to the public in an attempt to locate the suspect.
Moore was arrested in Macomb County Monday. He is being held on several charges.
