A Nesquehoning man faces multiple charges after he assaulted his wife and threatened to kill her.

Dan Rodriguez, 32, of Holland Street, was charged with two counts each aggravated assault, criminal attempt and simple assault and one count recklessly endangering another person, terroristic threats, strangulation and harassment for an incident on Thursday.

According to an affidavit filed by Nesquehoning police officer Carl Breiner, a woman who appeared to be in distress came to the police station door.

He helped her into the station, and she reported that Rodriguez attacked her. Marks on her neck were visible and she had an ankle injury.

The victim told police Rodriguez took their two children and left in a vehicle, and she walked to the police station.

She also told police Rodriguez strangled her at knife point, assaulted her and then threatened to kill her. At this time, she jumped from the third story window of her home, because she feared for her life.

Rodriguez was arrested Friday and arraigned before District Judge Casimir Kosciolek and is incarcerated in Carbon County Correctional Facility on $100,000 bail.
