January 11, 2010
OMAHA, Neb. - An Omaha police officer accused of choking his wife until she passed out will stand trial on assault charges.
Sean Heyenga also faces charges of terroristic threats in connection with the December incident.
Prosecutors said Heyenga came home after drinking one night and got into an argument with his wife, [NM]. They said Heyenga got on top of her, strangled her and threatened to kill her.
Miller told investigators she had been beaten by Heyenga on several occasion but she didn't report them because of his position in the police department. She was afraid nothing would be done.
Heyenga is on paid administrative leave.
