An Indianapolis man is wanted for child molesting and resisting police after a bizarre incident in Lawrence.
Police say Michael Hill, 25, started a telephone relationship with the 13-year-old victim two months ago after the two began conversing in an internet chat room.
Investigators found the teenager invited Hill to the apartment the teen shared with her parents Monday night. When the adults heard a commotion coming from the girl's bedroom, they forced their way through the door and found a naked man hiding underneath the teenager's bed.
According to the incident report, the victim's father called Lawrence police, but only after conducting his own “interrogation” of the suspect.
"Yeah, he pulled him out, and had a 'chat' with him. That's what he told us,” said Robert Bowser, Lawrence Police Department.
The father's call also brought an ambulance crew to the apartment. Investigators say Hill's mouth was bloody, and he could barely respond when paramedics asked him why he was short of breath. "He expressed that to the police and to the fire personnel that arrived on the scene, that he needed his inhaler from his car, and then he had symptoms like he was having a seizure,” said Bowser.
The paramedics put hill on a stretcher, and got ready to load him into the ambulance. Police say that's when Hill broke away from the gurney and, while only partially clad, ran from the scene.
Experts think the case shows why parents should stay aware of their kids' phone and internet use, including text messaging. "Parents probably have to do a little investigative work of their own, because these parents certainly were not aware that a 25-year-old man would be coming into their house at 12 o'clock at night,” said Bowswer.
Detectives think Hill faked his breathing symptoms so he could escape from police Monday night. Police say his previous criminal history includes convictions for intimidation and battery.
