On April 26th, the Baxter Springs Police Department received complaints in reference to a male looking in resident’s windows during the overnight hours.

One resident had a video of the the male looking into her children’s window. A short investigation ensued and the male was identified as Michael Hood. It is unclear if Mr Hood knew the window he was looking in was a child’s bedroom or not.

On May 4th, a traffic stop was conducted on Mr Hood and he was subsequently arrested for various traffic charges, along with criminal trespassing and breach of privacy. As always, all subjects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
