Portland, Oregon - A group of campers tied a peeping Tom suspect to a tree, keeping him bound until police arrived.

Richard H. Berkey, 63, was charged with private indecency, a misdemeanor, by sheriff's deputies who were called to the Big Fan Campground near Bagby Hot Springs last weekend.

Campers told deputies they recognized Berkey from a similar incident at the campground last year and wanted to make sure he did not get away.

Dugan and another camper, said several friends were playing chess, eating and relaxing, when they heard rustling in an area the women used as an open latrine. Dugan went to investigate, saw a man running from the area and tackled him.

With help from two other campers, Dugan led Berkey to the group's campsite and tied him to a tree. Another camper left to call police.
go

Hahaha That's awesome. Good for them.

He could just get online...there are plenty of things to look at. Ghawd.

I guess some pervs prefer the up close and personal approach,and mabey the thought of being caught added to his thrills ! The world is overflowing with all kinds of kinky weirdos! I,m just glad they got him before he got bored and decided to take it to a dangerous level to achieve his kicks!

only tied him to a tree ??

I haven't been camping for awhile but this is the tree that the chicks pee on, right?

Isn't that wrongful detainment?

I'm so glad I don't go camping I'd have done worse things than tie this fool to a tree though..

Wait, in the grand scheme of things, isn't being tied up somewhat of what he wanted?

Freaky a$$ pervert.....I agree with Nyx, I would have done worse than just tying him to a tree.

Respect.

Shoulda nailed his testicles to said tree as well.
What, he doesn't own a computer? lol.....

Rightful detainment in my book, I bet he wears a nasty little raincoat and displays at passers-by too.

Haha. That's pretty smart. XD That poor guy. That must have been embrassing! Good work!

LMAO!!!!!!!!! yeah i agree, good 4 the campers.

I think I would have used a branch more near the top of the tree to tie him up

Citizens arrest, right? Good for them.

But.... what is "private indecency?" I suppose because the campground was privately owned or something?

lol. yeah like, climb up to the top of the tree, then nail his balls to the tree and let him hang there.

I am female, but the thought of that makes me screw my face up like this ---->

lmao me 2. female and the face thing.

Well that's all well and dandy, however that book is not the law.




This is the law:


Has anyone considered that the best way to avoid this is to possibly not get naked in public places?

And thus the reason I try to hold it until I get to civilization when camping. If I really gotta go. Then there better be an outhouse there.
