A probationer was arrested Wednesday for allegedly peering into San Jacinto homes, possibly to prey on women and girls.
Ramon Rojas, 46, was booked into the Smith Correctional Facility in Banning on suspicion of disorderly conduct, trespassing and probation violations. He’s being held in lieu of $250,000 bail.
According to Riverside County Sheriff’s Sgt. Robert Duckett, a resident in the 300 block of Hazeldell Avenue called the sheriff’s department at about 5:30 a.m. to complain about a peeping tom prowling around houses.
Deputies cruised the area and allegedly spotted Rojas looking through the window of a property, at which point he was taken into custody without incident, Duckett said.
According to court records, the suspect has a prior misdemeanor conviction for peeping tom activity that occurred in 2014.
