Area holiday display lit up again as peeping case against operator drags on

"I’ve got to move on. It’s been over a year," he said.

When he was arrested in January, his attorney said there was "more to this issue than has appeared in the media."

Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman said the criminal case against Honeycutt is moving slowly because the State Crime Lab is still processing evidence, including Honeycutt's phone.

"One of the things that we try to do very diligently is go through and review whatever images may be available, to do that kind of analysis to see who all can we identify that have been impacted," Freeman said. "Obviously, these types of matters are an extreme invasion of people’s privacy."

Fieldstream Farm doesn't have public restrooms.

Investigators also must determine if any peeping images Honeycutt may have had were shared with others, Freeman said.

"I understand it is frustrating when these things don’t get resolved in a short time frame, but we want to make sure we are doing our due diligence {and] that we have completely identified the scope of the conduct before we have moved forward," she said.

As the case moves forward, Freeman said nothing prevents Honeycutt from running the Festival of Lights.

"There’s not anything in terms of operation of the business itself that is prohibited at this point," she said. "He is entitled to his presumption of innocence until proven guilty."
