LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Lincoln police say a man found asleep under a 7-year-old girl’s bed was stalking the girl’s mother.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports (https://bit.ly/TU24LG ) that 25-year-old Dangelo Madkins, a transient, was arrested after he was heard snoring under the bed around 3:30 a.m. Sunday. Madkins was charged Tuesday with stalking and making terroristic threats; he has pleaded not guilty.

Police found Madkins under the bed with a stun gun, knife, screwdriver, a key to the apartment and the woman’s work identification. Madkins and the woman know each other, and the woman told police her ID disappeared last week.

Police say Madkins told an officer that the woman gave him the key, but he denied knowing about the stun gun and could not explain why he was under the girl’s bed.
