Michael David Barrett arrested in Erin Andrews peephole video case

The man accused of secretly filming sportscaster Erin Andrews in eight videos later posted on the internet has been arrested at Chicago O’Hare airport.

Michael David Barrett, 48, was taken into custody and held on charges of interstate stalking. The FBI discovered that Barrett checked into the same hotel as Andrews in Nashville in September 2008, requesting a room adjacent to her and using his home address. The peephole on Andrews’ room was tampered with and a total of eight videos were recorded in two separate hotel rooms.

Barrett attempted to sell the eight videos to TMZ, whose employees assisted in the investigation. He faces up to five years in federal prison if convicted.
