Multiple Choice
Nancy called 911 late one night and stated that there was a man in her backyard looking in her daughter's window. She was unable to give a description of the man. Officer Oliver arrived at the scene 10 minutes later. He went into the back yard and observed Pat standing about 15 feet from the house. He arrested Pat for violation of a penal code section that applies to voyeurism, a misdemeanor. Pat was transported to the city jail.
