Kirkwood Man Indicted for Stalking, Public Indecency, and Peeping Tom Charges

Decatur, GA – Rodney Lee Stroud, 53, a man known to frequent Atlanta’s Kirkwood neighborhood, has been indicted by a DeKalb County Grand Jury on multiple charges including two counts of Aggravated Stalking, Public Indecency, and Peeping Tom.

The charges stem from an incident on Sunday, November 17, when Atlanta Police responded around 10:25 p.m. to a report of a suspicious person at a home on Memorial Drive, SE in Kirkwood. The homeowner recognized Stroud from prior incidents, including one in 2018.

According to investigators, the homeowner heard loud banging on her door and checked her surveillance cameras, which captured Stroud on her front porch looking through her windows and engaging in lewd behavior. She shouted from an upstairs window for Stroud to leave and informed him she had contacted police.

Officers arrived promptly and arrested Stroud, who was booked into the DeKalb County Jail shortly after midnight on November 18. He remains in custody without bond.

Stroud is scheduled to appear for arraignment on January 6, 2026, before DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Gregory A. Adams. Authorities say the case remains under investigation.
