A babysitter looked under a bed to reassure a worried child that there
wasn’t a monster hiding there — and came face-to-face with a man who
wasn’t supposed to be there, a sheriff’s office in Kansas said in a news release.
The 27-year-old was booked into jail this week after a struggle with the babysitter that knocked the child to the ground.
The Barton County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were called late Monday
to the home near Great Bend, a city of around 15,000 in the western part
of the state. The suspect was gone when they arrived, but the babysitter
told them that the child had been complaining about a “monster” before she found the suspect.
The man once lived in the home, but that there was a protection from abuse order issued against him to stay away from the property, the sheriff’s
office said.
Deputies searched but were unable to find the man until the next day, when
he was captured after a foot chase, the news release said.
Online court records show the man had posted bond about 10 days earlier
after he was charged with criminal threat, domestic battery and violating
a protection from abuse order. Those allegations were alleged to have
occurred in January and February.
But following his latest arrest, a judge ordered him jailed without bond.
The sheriff’s office said additional requested charges include aggravated burglary, aggravated battery and child endangerment.
