SIGN UP A couple of residents eventually put up their own security cameras hoping to catch him in the act as the incidents became more frequent.
"I think it's super creepy to think you live in a community and you just never know who's going to be walking around," said condo resident Samantha Chadbourne.
When officers arrived, they say they saw him "crouched and peeping through the window," according to court documents.
Police say his pants were unzipped and it was clear to them that he had performed a sex act.
He's been identified as 48-year-old Xhevahir Hida, who lives a couple of miles away.
Police say Hida was making strange remarks when questioned and needed an Albanian translator.
"I didn't realize it's somebody that had his zipper pulled down, which is even more scary," said condo resident Kathy Ryan.
The defendant is facing charges of lewd and lascivious behavior, as well as disorderly conduct.
He was arraigned in court Monday and has been released on bail.
