According to his arrest report, the victim told Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies that she was sitting on the front porch of her home along Southwest 16th Street in Pompano Beach when McNeal walked up to her house and pulled down his shorts, exposing his penis to her.

The woman said she called McNeal a pedophile because he had been looking into her granddaughter’s bedroom.

According to his arrest report, McNeal then pushed the woman, causing her to fall back and barged into her home, where he took a camera that was sitting on the windowsill.

Deputies said the victim had installed the cameras after catching McNeal looking into her granddaughter’s bedroom.

McNeal is being held without bond at the North Broward Bureau.
