Arrest Made in Erin Andrews Peephole Video Case

By , About.com GuideOctober 3, 2009

The miscreant who shot video of ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews undressing has been arrested by the FBI, the Associated Press reports. Federal agents picked up Michael David Barrett at Chicago's O'Hare Airport last night.

FBI agents said Barrett called multiple hotels to find out where Andrews would be staying, then shot videos through modified peepholes. Andrews isn't the only woman he's victimized -- his e-mail account was used to post other clips of nude women, apparently taken through hotel-room doors.

Barrett attempted to sell the Andrews video to TMZ.com, but a TMZ employee alerted Andrews' attorneys.

The video of Andrews undressing was apparently filmed in a Nashville, Tennessee hotel. The clip was posted on the Internet earlier this year, but was pulled in July when Andrews and her employers at ESPN became aware of its existence.
