Did you drill an empty hole just shy of the width of the screw before putting the screw in? If you simply drilled the screw in then you probably split the beam. Drilling before screwing is done to reduce stress on the wood.
Also, I hope you didn't drill right where the stud finder marked, because that marker means that there's a metal screw or nail right in that spot. If you did that, then that means you drilled into metal.
