NEWBURGH, N.Y. - A New York man is accused of cutting a hole in a woman's couch and hiding in the carved-out space until she came home.
Newburgh police say 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 cellphone 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 say 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.
