A burglar who was accused of sneaking into a New Jersey home back on May 10 this year allegedly hid under the bed in a spare room for three days, police say.
Jason Hubbard entered the home on Ellenel Boulevard in Spotswood, N.J. while Margaret Adamcewicz was taking out the garbage, where police say he charged his four cellphones using an outlet he found while hiding beneath the bed, according to ABC News.
Hubbard stayed beneath the bed undetected for three days until Adamcewicz heard a sound coming from the family's spare room. When Adamcewicz went to check the noise, she discovered Hubbard and called the police.
"I don't think he was eating," Adamcewicz told WABC, Gawker reported. "I think he just had water under the bed."
Police arrived a little before 7 p.m. and arrested Hubbard for criminal trespassing. Hubbard's need to keep his cellphones at full charge worked against him since he was also charged with a "theft of services" violation for stealing electrical current, according to RT.
Authorities are unsure of what Hubbard's objective was. Police report that Adamcewicz went in and out of her home multiple times throughout the three days, but Hubbard never took anything and never left, opting to remain under the bed.
The only clue in this matter is the fact that according to Adamcewicz, her daughter and Hubbard used to date, ABC News reported.
"He was hiding upstairs underneath the bed, in my daughter's bedroom," she said. "He used to date my daughter five years ago. It didn't end well. He didn't say why he came back. He just picked our house to hide out in. He didn't have a home to live in. I haven't heard from him in five years. I wasn't scared, I was just angry."
Hubbard now resides in the Middlesex County Adult Corrections Center and could be released for $50,000 bail.
