PAJARO, Calif. (KSBW) — The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office said deputies detained a man after he allegedly entered a home and took off his pants in front of two young girls.
A sheriff’s spokesperson told KSBW 8 that 31-year-old Aniketh Kumar of Seaside entered a home near 20 Brooklyn St. in Pajaro around 9 a.m. Saturday. Deputies received a call about a residential burglary and found Kumar being detained by residents.
Kumar allegedly entered through an open door and walked into a room occupied by two girls, ages 6 and 9.
According to deputies, he then allegedly began mumbling and started taking off his pants. The girls began screaming, which alerted the rest of the family, who confronted Kumar.
“Family members grabbed Kumar, who began resisting their efforts to remove him from the room. The family was ultimately able to get him outside, where he was detained until deputies arrived,” the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson added that Kumar had also entered a nearby apartment before entering the home. He was confronted by the occupants, who yelled that they were calling the Sheriff’s Office, and Kumar left.
Kumar was taken for medical treatment for injuries he sustained before law enforcement arrived.
The children and family members were not injured.
The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office is sharing a photo of Kumar in case there were other similar incidents he may have been involved in.
