Antichrist Sent Him, Armed Man Tells Brea Couple
An 18-year-old man was arrested Sunday on suspicion of attempted murder after a Brea couple told police they woke up to find him standing over their bed with a knife.
The couple awoke about 3:30 a.m. and saw a naked man, identified as Arthur David Macias of Brea, who said the antichrist had sent him to kill the family, said police Sgt. Jack Conklin.
The husband and his 15-year-old son were able to disarm the intruder and hold him until police arrived, authorities said.
Macias is being held in lieu of $1-million bail at Orange County Jail.
