ORLANDO - A man is facing charges after police say he was caught peeking through the windows of a woman's home.

Surveillance showed the man peering into the home in Debary late at night.

According to the Volusia Co. Sheriff's Office, they started doing extra patrols when they realized the same man came back to that home at least three times.

"We were like that is crazy. And that's why we were like 'where did he come from', like what's going on? It was very weird," said Brooke Sotolongo, the woman who lives in the home.

The sheriff's office identified the man as 29-year-old Steven Johnson.

Last Thursday night, a sergeant found Johnson walking out from between two homes and tried to stop him. 

Johnson took off.

After a chase with a drone overhead, he was found in a swampy area nearby and arrested. Johnson is facing charges of loitering or prowling and resisting an officer without violence.

Deputies say he admitted to peeking into windows and said he had urges to do so.
