In Kansas, a man was taken into custody on charges of aggravated kidnapping and more after a child discovered him hiding below a bed in their residence, as per authorities.
The Barton County Sheriff’s Office reported that the event unfolded at approximately 10:30 p.m. at a house just on the outskirts of Great Bend, Kansas, while a babysitter was settling children in for the night. The babysitter was informed by one of the children about a “monster” beneath the bed, prompting the caregiver to uncover a 27-year-old man tucked under the bedframe.
Martin Villalobos Jr. was allegedly found under the bed and immediately began fighting the babysitter, which led to the child being knocked over.
