Baltimore County Police arrested 55-year-old Andrade Robinson in connection with the ongoing “Peeping Tom” incidents at Donnybrook Apartments.

According to court records, police arrested Robinson at an apartment complex in the Rodgers Forge area at 4 a.m. on Friday after watching him use a step stool to peep into windows.

The detectives ultimately caught Robinson after receiving a tip from an anonymous resident. The resident called Det. Nicole Spear on April 28 and reported witnessing a man with a three-step ladder walking around the Donnybrook Apartment complex between 2 and 3 a.m., according to court records.

Residents Chloe White and Devin Kaestner have been dealing with “Peeping Toms” for the past several months and caught multiple men on camera several times, including the night of the April 28 report.

On Tuesday, Towson University’s Student Success Programs and the Zeta Phi Beta hosted a Lunch and Learn on higher education and campus life, featuring Maryland Gov. Wes Moore.

During the first half of the two hour event, attendees got to share their thoughts on different issues and topics relating to the university. Moore came during the second half of the event to share some words of encouragement.

Upon hearing about the event, Moore thought it was important because it served as a great opportunity for people to feel like they were not only being seen and heard, but also to feel like their voice helps make an impact.

“When you get a chance to see students who are so focused on the larger success of our society, it gets you excited. Because so much of what is happening right now is going to impact our students directly, we need to make sure that their voices are heard directly in the conversations about what’s happening, what their aspirations are, and what they want to get done,” Moore said.
