AUSTIN
A 15 year APD veteran officer is under investigation-- accused of being a peeping tom.
Lonnie Edwards' attorney says-- his client allegedly peeped through a window of a home on San Gabriel Street last month.That's in the West Campus area where thousands of college students live.A woman inside that home called police.
Some UT students say they can't believe an uniformed officer would do such a thing. UT junior, Rachel Coco says,"that's creepy cause that's supposed to be an authority figure."
UT sophomore, Matthew Hardin says, "it's a cop, it's somebody who's supposed to be protecting us and he's creeping in on windows. It's kind of weird."
And UT sophomore Daniel Bell-Garcia says, "that people think they are above the law once they are in that position and they use that position to their advantage which is unfair and kind of scary."
There is an internal affairs investigation open.
Edwards is on paid administrative leave and could face possible criminal and disciplinary action.
