NEWBURGH, N.Y. (AP) - Police say a New York man cut a hole in a woman's couch and hid in the carved-out space until she came home. Newburgh police said the woman sat on the couch Wednesday evening and felt a bump in the cushions move.

 

She jumped up and David Joe Limones emerged from his hiding place, knocking a cell phone out of her hand.

 

The woman was on the phone with a friend when she entered her apartment because she had filed an earlier complaint against Limones and was worried he might be there. Police said she had asked the friend to stay on the line and call police if something went wrong.

 

When officers arrived, they found Limones and the 22-year-old woman arguing on the apartment's balcony.

 

Limones, 27, faces burglary and other charges. He is being held on $20,000 bail.

 

County officials, including those at the public defenders office and the sheriff's department, were unable to provide the name of Limones' lawyer.

Have you noticed a lot of people are hiding; there was the closet, the attic, now the couch - although this was obviously done for criminal purposes.

This is like the time Dilbert calculated that dinosaurs couldn't possibly be extinct, that they were just hiding. and then a dinosaur pops up from behind Dilbert's couch.
