ESCONDIDO, Calif.—A paroled sex offender was arrested after allegedly breaking into an Escondido family’s home April 11, waving a machete and threatening to kill everyone inside—instead winding up with a serious stab wound inflicted by one of the victims in self-defense.

Jesse Angel Martinez, 29, allegedly forced entry to the house in the 1000 block of Camellia Street and began terrorizing the residents about 1:30 a.m. Thursday, according to the Escondido Police Department.
