WELLINGTON, Fla. (WTXL) - A Florida man was beaten up by a former NFL player after he was caught masturbating and looking through a girl's window.
Geoffrey Cassidy, 48, was arrested Monday by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
WCJB reports that according to a Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office probable cause affidavit, the girl's father caught Cassidy crouched in some bushes by the window with his hands in his pants.
The father, identified by our ABC affiliate WPBF as former NFL defensive back Tony Beckham, chased after Cassidy and tackled him to the ground.
A neighbor heard the commotion and called 911.
According to WCJB, the victim told deputies she had just gotten out of the shower and was getting dressed when Cassidy was looking through the window.
Cassidy was taken to a hospital to be treated for fractures to his face and eye. He denied looking in the window, claiming he was in the neighborhood because his car had broken down and he was waiting for it to cool down.
Beckham spent five seasons in the NFL as a cornerback for the Tennessee Titans and Detroit Lions.
Cassidy is being held in jail on a $1,500 bond.
