Babysitter checking for monsters under child’s bed finds man hiding

A babysitter checked underneath a bed after a child said there was a ‘monster’ there and made a shocking discovery.

The woman was watching over children at a Kansas home on Monday night.

‘When putting the children to bed, one child complained there was a “monster” under their bed,’ stated the Barton County Sheriff’s Office.

‘When the victim attempted to show the child there was nothing under the bed, she came face-to-face with a male suspect who was hiding there.’

The babysitter and the male intruder got into an altercation and a child was’knocked over in the struggle’, according to the sheriff’s office. The man then fled the home.

Deputies responded to the home on the 2000 block of Patton Road near Great Bend around 10.30pm.

The babysitter identified the man as Martin Villalobos Jr, 27. She said he previously lived at the home but was under a protection from abuse order to stay away.

Deputies looked for the suspect that night but were not able to find him. They spotted him the next morning on the same block of the residence and arrested him after a brief foot chase.

Villalobos has been charged with child endangerment, aggravated kidnapping, aggravated burglary, aggravated battery, felony obstruction of a law enforcement officer and violation of a protection from abuse order.

He is being held at Barton County Jail on a $500,000 bond.

It was not immediately known what Villalobos’ relationship was to the child and the babysitter, who has not been named. It was not clear what if any injury the child who was knocked down suffered.

The incident happened nearly a decade after a Nashville woman who filed a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend found him under her bed with his two feet sticking out. She allegedly shot the man, who previously said ‘I will kill you, you stupid c***.’
