Publix Peeper Who Avoided Over 100 Voyeurism-Related Convictions Transferred from Marion Jail to Alachua Jail for Probation Violation

In 2024, Thomas Ali Burns, 47, was arrested in Alachua County and charged with approximately 137 felony charges relating to video voyeurism, but he wasn’t convicted of a single one. Burns was granted withheld adjudications on two charges and sentenced to probation. However, now he once again faces a potential prison sentence after violating his probation.

After getting arrested in Marion County for dangerous speeding and drug possession, Burns was placed in violation of his probation due to violating the condition of not breaking the law. The Marion County case was closed out last week, prompting his subsequent transfer from the Marion County Jail to the Alachua County Jail for upcoming probation violation proceedings.

Burns’ probation officer reported, “While [Burns] has been compliant with his sex offender treatment, he has remained unemployed as his psychiatrist has advised that he is unable to work. [Burns] is making his payments, but it is unclear as to the source of his income. This officer recommends that [Burns]’ supervision is revoked and that he is sentenced to a term of incarceration.”
