Convinced that his wife was unfaithful, a Florida man purportedly attempted to strangle her as she slept. The woman awoke to find his hands constricting her neck after he came across text messages from another man on her phone, authorities report.

William Millan, 40, residing in Boca Raton, faces charges of felony battery by strangulation related to the incident on May 27. This attack reportedly marked the second occurrence of such an assault within two days, as described in a probable cause affidavit submitted in Palm Beach County the previous week.

“William advised that he found out that [his wife] was cheating and wanted to teach her a lesson,” the affidavit says, citing Millan’s interview with Boca Raton police.

“William also locked her out of the house and refused to give her the keys to their car so she could go to work,” the document adds.

Police were called to the couple’s residence after Millan allegedly attacked his wife at around 4 a.m., according to authorities. She told officers that “the same thing” happened on May 25 “but she was too scared to report it,” per the affidavit.

“[The victim] stated that William has done this in the past and she has never reported it because she was always in fear of what would happen after she called the police,” the affidavit alleges.

Officers observed “red marks” around the victim’s neck and the side of her face where she was also allegedly hit by Millan, according to cops. Pictures were taken of her injuries as evidence.

Millan was hesitant to come outside to speak to officers after they arrived, the affidavit says, but he did allegedly confirm while talking with cops through a sliding glass door that he had accused his wife of cheating and was arguing with her.
