Police: State trooper threatened to kill wife

A state trooper has been accused of assaulting his wife and
threatening to kill her.

Court documents say Trooper Jeff Muren was drinking when he got into an argument with his wife and pulled out a loaded handgun.

He allegedly told her to look at it so she could see the bullet coming at her. His wife also told police that he would grab her by the throat to the point she could barely breathe, and repeatedly hit her in the head so that her hair would cover the marks.

The trooper is on administrative leave while the investigation is underway.
