A couple says they discovered a man allegedly living in their basement after noticing that food was missing and items had been moved around their home. According to reports, Dutch and Sharon Hoggatt identified the person as Preston Landis. The couple’s concerns reportedly began when household items and food appeared to be taken or displaced without explanation. After the couple investigated, they say they found evidence that Landis had been staying in the basement.
The man was later arrested in Arkansas on April 29, the reports state. The available summaries do not specify how the couple made the discovery beyond the missing food and changes in the arrangement of items, nor do they describe the evidence presented to authorities. The reporting also does not provide details on what charges were filed or the outcome of the arrest. The case is presented in the sources as an allegation, with the man identified as the suspect based on the couple’s account and subsequent arrest.
