GREENSBORO, N.C. – “I was in bed laying with my girl (and) I heard something rumbling underneath my bed. I thought it was my dog.”

What Jeremy Lynn heard was not a dog, but from a peeping tom who had broken in hoping to see his girlfriend naked.

“(When) I looked underneath there, I saw these eyes staring back at me. I was like ‘what the crap! This ain’t normal,'” said Lynn. “So I start(ed) slinging him around. I was upper cutting him, beating him left and right.”

Police said after they arrested Donei Zabedra-Ilario, 20, he confessed to spying on eight other houses in Greensboro. He is considered a suspect in a string of cases throughout the city, including houses along Merritt Drive, Creek Ridge Road and West Florida Street. Police said Zabedra-Ilario is suspected of spying on women in a Wal-Mart bathroom on Wendover Avenue.

But his plan came to an end recently inside an apartment along Pineland Street.

“When i dragged him out his belt, his pants were undone the whole nine yards,” said Lynn.

Zabedra-Ilario told police it was the first time he’s broken into anyone’s home, but it was not the first time he’s been peeping.

“It was almost something he was proud of, like someone would covet a trophy,” said GPD detective David Lyndrup.

Lynn is glad he got to him first.

“I talked to the cop. He told me if I wouldn’t have caught him, he planned on spending the night.”

Police are in the process of notifying the victims of the other cases and anticipate more charges will be filed.
