Carranco-Salinas stood at the top of a stairway armed with a 9-inch knife, according to Lake County officials.
Deputies ordered him to drop the weapon, and he complied but then attempted to force open a locked bedroom door where more victims were hiding.
When he refused deputies' commands to stop, authorities used a Taser to stop him and took him into custody.
What Led to the Attack:
An investigation revealed that Carranco-Salinas became enraged after a woman in the home rejected his sexual advances, deputies said.
He allegedly offered her money, and when she refused, he became violent.
Others in the home tried to restrain him but failed. Authorities said he then grabbed a kitchen knife and began chasing people inside the home.
No injuries were reported in the incident.
Charges Filed :
Carranco-Salinas is charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and six counts of domestic battery.
He is being held at the Lake County Jail pending his first court appearance. Details on his next court date have not been released.
The Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office plans to file a petition to keep him in custody while he awaits trial.
