Closet Scare Occurs in Wildwood

Boyfriend found hiding in girlfriend's closet frightens her mother, as reported by KMOV-TV today.

There were more than clothes in the closet at a home located at the 17,000 block of Windsor Crest Boulevard. Per a report from KMOV-TV today, a woman walked into her daughter's room to gather dirty laundry, and instead found her daughter's boyfriend hiding the closet.

Apparently, the male was left to fend for himself, according to St. Louis County police reports that indicated the girl had exited the home to go to school.

Officer Rick Eckhard with the St. Louis County Police Department told KMOV the male had been at the home overnight. Eckhard stated police drove to the home and arrested the young man. The boy's age is unknown and there is no word if he will be charged with anything, according to KMOV's coverage of the incident.
