Beckham, a former Detroit Lion and NFL defensive back, said he was leaving home when he saw the man peeking into his daughter’s window. He said the man’s trousers were down, and he was pleasuring himself.
“I caught him over there, and we just had a good conversation,” he said. “He’s never going to do that again on this side of town.” source
Beckham’s wife, Amanda, came out side during the incident and found her husband holding Cassidy on the ground as she called police.
