A would-be peeping Tom got more than he bargained for and was caught on camera when a Florida dad chased him off the family property using a baseball bat.
"Call the cops… call the cops! Somebody call the cops," shouted the Florida dad. "Where you going, boy? Come here… come here… I got something for you."The family then "immediately called" the Flagler County Sheriff, according to a press release.

The suspect, Damon Arthur Smith, was promptly arrested after admitting to "being on the victim's property," per the release. Smith told authorities that he gets a "thrill" from walking around people’s homes.Upon arrest, Smith was spotted wearing a Michael Myers tee-shirt that had the phrase "EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO ONE GOOD SCARE" on it.
"I don’t know what his intentions are… if it was something that was going to escalate over time, and that [Michael Myers] was his role model or what, but we might have got him just in time," the dad said to FOX 35.
