A Haverhill, Mass., family is still a little shaken after a frightening encounter in their own home over the weekend.

Catty Edem woke up Thursday morning to find a strange man passed out on her 5-year-old son's bedroom floor.

She said her husband went into the room and grabbed their son, then called police.

When police showed up, they woke up Jesse Beaulieu, 21, and arrested him.

The intruder allegedly told police he was drunk and stumbled into the wrong house. He lives a couple of streets over.

The Edems question the story.

They also said that just minutes after the arrest, the suspect's father showed up begging police to release Beaulieu.

Beaulieu was charged with breaking and entering and trespassing.
