Dad Charged with Beating Naked Peeping Tom

Put guy spying on teen daughters into the hospital

ALBUQUERQUE—An Albuquerque dad who almost beat a naked Peeping Tom to death has been charged with aggravated battery.

And now his neighbors coming to his defense saying the man did what all fathers would do if they caught someone peering at their daughters though a bedroom window.

Emilio Chavez III is now facing an aggravated battery change after police say he severely beat the accused peeper, Dylan Maho, 29.

"I think it's a shame," said Bill Morang, a nearby neighbor. "How do you think rationally when something like that happens? You defend your family, its basic instinct."
