Martin Miller and his wife Daniela did more than welcome homeless Michael Chaney into their home.
They invited him into their bed.
The couple had at least one threesome with Chaney as he began living with them.
But things went south when Miller, a retired Marine began to sense there was more than fun involved.
"Martin became jealous after we had a threesome because Daniela started to distance herself from him," Chaney said in a statement obtained by Mlive.com.
The straw that broke the camels back came last week as Miller and his wife were in the bathroom together.
Cheney took a sample of the hamburger he was cooking in for the couple to taste. Martin Miller threw it into the bathtub where his wife was bathing. Undeterred, Chaney took another sample and Miller once again threw it into the water.
Chaney says he told Miller to "stop wasting food," and walked away with Miller following and threatening to "beat him up." That's when Chaney made the mistake of telling Miller to go ahead.
Miller told officers, "I am a marine, when someone challenges me I go into kill mode."
Chaney and Daniela both say Miller kicked the man in the chest and choked him until he passed out. Miller denies that, but admits he kicked and choked “hard enough for him to know."
Miller faces a charge of assault by strangulation. He could land in jail for up to ten years and be fined $10,000.
