North Carolina authorities have reported several arrests linked to recent cases of voyeurism and secret peeping across different locations within the state. The incidents involved individuals secretly recording or observing others in private spaces, leading to ongoing investigations and charges filed against multiple suspects.
Major Cases and Arrests
Jeremy Michael Rolow
In Raleigh, Jeremy Michael Rolow, aged 28, was taken into custody on Monday by local police. Rolow is accused of secretly recording an individual using a bathroom at a Best Buy store located on Capital Boulevard. According to reports, he used a cellphone to capture the incident without consent.
Rolow is affiliated with the Durham Chiropractic Injury Center, a practice known for receiving over 100 five-star reviews on Google. He is currently held on a $5,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday at 1:30 p.m., where legal proceedings are expected to continue.
Marshall Ragsdale
Another notable case involves Marshall Ragsdale, 19, a student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Ragsdale faces eight counts of felony secret peeping following allegations that he used a camera pen to covertly record individuals. The incidents reportedly occurred in various locations, including his dormitory bathroom at Craige Residence Hall and a public restroom inside an academic building.
The charges came after a fellow student discovered the camera pen, which contained a micro SD card with 33 videos documenting the peeping acts. Ragsdale’s case continues to develop as authorities work to determine the full extent of the incidents.
Terry Devont Harris
On Tuesday, Terry Devont Harris, aged 41, was arrested by Fuquay-Varina police following reports of prowling. Harris faces multiple charges, including three counts of misdemeanor secret peeping and one count of misdemeanor stalking. His arrest stems from a response to a prowler call, with links to a previous incident in December of the prior year.
Harris has a criminal history, having served five years in prison for a burglary conviction. He was released from custody in June 2021. Currently, he is held without bail pending further court proceedings.
