A Louisiana man is behind bars after his wife walked him on him raping a 9-year-old little girl, according to police.

NBC 6 reports that the wife of Glenn Mills Jr., 41, contacted the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday after she reportedly came home for the evening to her home to find her husband sexually abusing a child left in his care. Before officers arrived, however, Mills allegedly fled the residence in a pickup truck.

It’s unclear how the suspect knew the little girl.
