A babysitter in Kansas made a terrifying discovery when they checked under a child’s bed for monsters but instead came face to face with a man hiding there.
Deputies from Barton County Sheriff’s Office responded to a disturbance call on Monday after the babysitter discovered the man hiding under the child’s bed around 10.30pm.
The child complained there was a ‘monster’ under their bed, police said in a press release.
When the babysitter checked under the bed, hoping to reassure the child nothing was there, they found a 27-year-old named Martin Villalobos Junior.
‘An altercation ensued with the babysitter and one child was knocked over in the struggle,’ police said.
‘The suspect then fled the scene before deputies arrived.’

Villalobos had once lived at the residence, according to the sheriff’s office, and had a protection from abuse order issued against him to keep away from the property.
The next morning, Villalobos was found and pursued by officers on foot before he was arrested and taken to Barton County Jail.
He was booked on charges of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated burglary, aggravated battery, child endangerment, felony obstruction of a law enforcement officer and violation of a protection from abuse order.
Villalobos is being held on a $500,000 bond.
