Alamance County Man Arrested After Reported Secret Peeping, Narcotics

Alamance County deputies arrested 68 year old Victor Harris after developing probable cause in a reported secret peeping incident and executing a search warrant on November 19. Investigators say the search produced items connected to the alleged peeping as well as illegal narcotics, prompting multiple criminal charges and Harris being taken to the Alamance County Detention Center on a $30,000 bond.

The sheriff's office updated its report on November 21, 2025, listing charges that include felony secret peeping, two counts of misdemeanor secret peeping, felony possession of Schedule I narcotics and felony possession of Schedule II narcotics. Deputies worked from a reported incident that led them to seek judicial approval for a search warrant, which investigators then served at the designated location on November 19.

The immediate impact on the community is threefold. First, residents in the affected neighborhood will likely feel heightened concern about privacy and safety, especially when allegations involve secret recording or observation. Second, the discovery of controlled substances in the same search raises worries about local drug activity and public health. Third, the case illustrates the procedures law enforcement follows when probable cause is developed, including obtaining court authorization to conduct searches and gathering evidence to support criminal charges.

Under state and federal drug schedules, Schedule I classifications typically cover substances considered to have no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse, while Schedule II classifications include drugs that have accepted medical uses with severe restrictions and a high potential for dependence. The presence of both Schedule I and Schedule II narcotics in an investigation can escalate the legal consequences beyond those related solely to privacy violations.

For local residents, the county sheriff's response may provide reassurance that allegations involving intimate privacy breaches are being taken seriously and investigated promptly. Still, community leaders and neighbors may seek further information about where and how the incident occurred, and about steps being taken to prevent similar incidents. The sheriff's office is the official source for updates as the case progresses through the criminal justice system.

Harris remains in custody under the $30,000 bond while the investigation continues and prosecutors review the evidence. The charges filed reflect a combination of alleged privacy violations and drug offenses, a convergence that county officials say they will continue to investigate. Residents with information related to the case are encouraged to contact the Alamance County Sheriff’s Office as authorities pursue any additional leads.
