The latest arrest happened off West Chapel Street when a criminal justice student told police he saw Furr lurking around and peeking into the windows of his neighbor’s home.
“It’s creepy, you don’t want to think about someone coming into your yard and looking in your personal space,” Cindy Ahern, a neighbor, said.
Neighbors immediately called police and launched a manhunt in the area.
According to the arrest report, Furr told police “he decided to drive down west chapel street and noticed a light on in a house. He stated ‘you know my history.’”
“We are trying to see what the next step is and trying to help him,” he mother told Boston 25 News.
