Police say a threesome in Bay City, Michigan went horribly awry last week after the menage a trois devolved into violence and meat-throwing.

Martin Miller, 30, and his wife, Daniela Miller, had been sharing their home with 20-year-old Michael Chaney, the Bay City Times reports. Chaney told authorities that he is homeless.

Last week, the couple and Chaney engaged in a shared sexual experience, after which Chaney told cops Martin Miller became “jealous” of him.

A few days later, on September 12, Chaney was cooking ground beef and brought a spoonful of it into the bathroom to ask the Millers to give it a taste test. Daniela Miller was taking a bath at the time. It’s unclear what her Martin Miller was doing in the bathroom, but when Chaney offered up the meat, Martin Miller allegedly grabbed the beef and threw it into the bathtub.

Chaney came back with more meat and Martin Miller did the same thing, both Daniela Miller and Chaney told cops.

Martin Miller and Chaney then began to argue, which escalated into Miller threatening to beat up Chaney and Chaney telling him to go ahead. Miller allegedly did so, kicking Chaney in the chest and choking him.

Police say Miller, who served with the U.S. Marines from 2002 to 2005, told them, "I am a marine. When someone challenges me I go into kill mode."

He was charged with assault by strangulation.

A Facebook profile that appears to belong to Daniela Miller lists her as in a relationship with Michael Chaney as of September 13. A comment on the post reads “Thought you where e married [sic).”
