Kansas babysitter finds 'monster' under child's bed, man charged with aggravated kidnapping: police

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.

Villalobos was detained for alleged offenses of aggravated burglary, aggravated battery, aggravated kidnapping, child endangerment, felony obstruction of a law enforcement officer, and breaching a protection from abuse order, law enforcement disclosed.
