A man in Kansas was booked into jail on aggravated kidnapping and other charges after a child found him hiding underneath a bed in their home on Monday, police said.

The Barton County Sheriff’s Office said the incident happened around 10:30 p.m. at a home just outside of Great Bend, Kansas, when a babysitter was putting children to bed. When one child told the babysitter there was a “monster” under their bed, the nanny found a 27-year-old man curled up under the mattress.

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 able to flee the area before deputies arrived, but was caught on Tuesday after a foot pursuit, police said.

Villalobos was arrested on requested charges of aggravated burglary, aggravated battery, aggravated kidnapping, child endangerment, felony obstruction of a law enforcement officer and violation of a protection from abuse order, police said.
