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.

“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. An altercation ensued with the babysitter and one child was knocked over in the struggle. The suspect then fled the scene before deputies arrived,” the Barton County Sheriff’s Office wrote in Facebook post.

The sheriff’s office said Villalobos was booked into jail in lieu of a $500,000 bond.
