FOREST CITY, North Carolina (WLOS) — A man suspected of peeping into Rutherford County home windows has a history of sex offenses.
A resident on Providence Road in Forest City called the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office and reported seeing a man lurking outside his neighbor’s window on Tuesday, Aug. 29, 2023.
While responding to the scene, deputies noticed a man matching the suspect’s description. The man fled on foot but was arrested a short time later.
Marquez Dean Lipscomb, a registered sex offender, was charged with secret peeping. In 2019, deputies arrested Lipscomb for indecent exposure in a parking lot.
“I’m very disappointed to hear someone would be doing that in this neighborhood because it’s a quiet peaceful neighborhood,” resident Joan Benfield said. “It tells us the Justice Department isn’t doing their jobs.”
