A horror-like story

In one home in Kansas, a babysitter was attempting to calm a child who was afraid to go to sleep. The child requested to check if there were monsters under the bed. As described by "The Guardian," to the babysitter’s astonishment, instead of a monster, she found a man hiding there.

It turned out the uninvited guest was 27-year-old Martin Villalobos Jr. The man had previously lived in the house. After the discovery, a confrontation took place with the babysitter, during which one of the children was knocked over.

Police intervention

After the incident, the man fled before officers arrived. The next morning, the police spotted him and, after a brief chase, apprehended him. Villalobos Jr. was taken into custody, and the case was reported by the police, as recounted by "The Guardian".
