A Rhode Island woman experienced every female driver’s worst nightmare, finding someone hiding in your vehicle.
According to The Easton Massachusetts Police Department, Amanda Kean drove 30 miles from Providence to her workplace in Easton on Sunday night without knowing that a semi-naked stranger was asleep in the back of her car.
Kean reportedly said she drove 45 minutes to work that night, including stopping for gas, and was using headphones to listen to a true crime podcast during the commute.
Authorities arrived at a parking lot at around midnight on Monday, after Kean placed a 911 call. They found a man asleep on the floor in the rear of the woman’s Chevrolet Tahoe.
Police say that Kean was shaken, but just grateful she was unharmed.
“I don’t know how to put it into words,” Kean said. “It really took my mind a minute for me to understand what I was seeing.”
“I hear moaning, like a moaning noise. I pause my podcast and I roll down my window because I wanted to check outside,” she said. “I rolled down the window and I heard it again, and I realized it was not coming from outside of my truck, it was coming from inside of my truck.”
The man, identified as Jose Osorio, 21, was “partially clothed, with a pair of shorts around one leg and a shirt wrapped around one arm, leaving the rest of his body uncovered,” Police Chief Keith Boone wrote in a Facebook post Wednesday.
“It was apparent to the officers that Osorio was extremely intoxicated and through an interpreter service, later learned that he had consumed a large amount of alcohol and marijuana earlier in the evening in Providence,” according to the statement. “At some point during his intoxicated state, Osorio entered the unlocked vehicle and fell asleep.”
Police determined that Osorio was able to climb into the Kean’s car when she started the engine and then went back inside her house for a short period of time.
The victim told officers that she had been listening to a podcast While driving to Easton, and it wasn’t until she pulled into the parking lot at work that she realized a man she’d never seen before was in her car.
Osorio was arrested without incident and transported back to police headquarters for booking, where he was charged with breaking and entering into a vehicle in the nighttime, according to police.
According to authorities, the man also had an outstanding warrant from Cranston, Rhode Island for a prior breaking and entering.
