Man Arrested for Prowling, Peeping in Window

A 35-year-old San Carlos man was arrested on Saturday for prowling and peeping into the bedroom window of a home on Beverly Drive, according to the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies say the suspect, David Russell Speiser, was located shortly after a woman called to report that burglary was in process at her home in the 100 block of Beverly Drive at around midnight on March 30. The 39-year-old victim told deputies that she had been in the back of the house arranging Easter basket for her children when she heard her bedroom window opening.

When she looked to see what was going on, she saw the suspect staring back at her through the window. She then closed the window and called 9-1-1.

Upon their arrival, deputies created a perimeter around the victim’s house and located the suspect a short time later.

Speiser was booked into San Mateo County Jail for attempted burglary, peeping and prowling; he has posted $50,000 bail and is out of custody.

Safety Tips from SMC Sheriff's Office:

• Always keep doors and windows locked and secured at night.

• Keep shades & curtains drawn to prevent strangers from seeing inside your home at night.
