A woman who looked outside her front door to investigate strange sounds was shocked at what she ultimately found: a stranger apparently living in a crawlspace underneath her house.
Ashly Guardino took to TikTok on Saturday to share details of the early-morning scare that caused her to call the police.
“We heard this noise,” she says, explaining that she and her partner thought there might have been someone on the roof of their rental home in Lake Elsinore, California, an inland city around halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego. “I look outside the front door, like I’m peeking out, and I see the grass moving,” she says.
Guardino then flips the camera to show a small square opening obscured by grass.
“A f—— arm comes out of the hole and is feeling around,” she says. “A dirty-a– arm, feeling around this hole outside.”
“There is a whole-a– man living here for months, living underneath the house,” she says. “Do you know how creepy it is to see a f—— arm come out of this, feeling around the side of the house? Imagine being half awake and seeing an arm, a dirty arm, come out of this hole.”
Video shows police officers persuading the man to come out from the crawlspace and taking him into custody.
The man has not been publicly identified. Guardino said in a video that he was on parole when he was discovered under the house and is being held without bail. Riverside County officials did not immediately respond to Law&Crime’s request for comment.
