The wife of Slava Voynov told police the Los Angeles Kings defenseman punched her in the face, choked her, threw her to the ground, kicked her repeatedly and pushed her into their wall-mounted television during a heated argument at their Redondo Beach home, court testimony revealed Monday.

Redondo Beach police Officer Gregory Wiist recounted the events of Oct. 19 as related to him by Marta Varlamova, which was enough for Torrance Superior Court Judge Hector Guzman to order Voynov to stand trial on a felony charge of spousal abuse causing great bodily injury.

Voynov, 24, remains suspended from the National Hockey League.

Wiist’s testimony revealed for the first time what allegedly happened in the couple’s Avenue C house.

Questioned by Deputy District Attorney Frank Dunnick, Wiist testified: “She was crying. She was sobbing. I saw tears streaming down her face. She was an emotional wreck.”

Wiist said he was the first officer to meet Varlamova as she waited for treatment at the Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center emergency room in Torrance. Blood flowed from a gash above her left eye, and she had numerous red marks across her neck, Wiist said.

“Varlamova told us she was involved in a physical altercation with her husband,” Wiist said. “She identified her husband as Slava Voynov, No. 26 of the Los Angeles Kings.”

Varlamova, who has said through an attorney that she does not want her husband prosecuted, did not attend the proceeding and was not called to testify. Wiist described his interview with her and what she told him.

The couple, Wiist said, got into an argument at a Halloween party. During the dispute, Voynov removed some costume glasses from her face, threw them to the ground and stomped on them. The argument then continued outside the party.

“Mr. Voynov struck her in the face with his fist,” Wiist said.

They returned to the party and eventually went home, where the argument rekindled and escalated into violence, Wiist said. Voynov, he said, threw his wife to the floor multiple times.

“He repeatedly kicked her all over her body in addition to choking her approximately three times,” Wiist said.

Varlamova, who returned to the house with the officer and showed him her bedroom, told Wiist that Voynov shoved her into the flat-screen television.

“When he pushed her into the TV, she struck her face on the corner,” Wiist said. ”She stated that she asked him to stop. She was screaming and indicated she was scared.”

Voynov did not stop, Varlamova told the officer, until he “saw the blood coming out of her face,” Wiist said.

Varlamova, who married Voynov in August after five years together, told the officer she asked him to call for help. Instead, he called a friend, who told him to take her to the hospital.

The couple left her 7-year-old daughter asleep in the home alone for 2 ½ hours while they were at the hospital, Wiist said.

The gash above Varlamova’s eye required eight stitches, her face was swollen, and she had bruises, red marks and scratches on her neck, Wiist said.

The officer asked Varlamova if her husband had choked her and she told him Voynov had put both of his hands on her throat.

“She said, ‘I could breathe,’ but from the way she squeezed my arm, it was quite a bit of force,” Wiist said.

Voynov’s attorney, Pamela Mackey, did not put on a defense during the proceeding, where prosecutors present limited testimony to show there is cause for a trial. Mackey, who successfully represented Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant when he was accused of rape 10 years ago in Colorado, focused her questions on where and when Wiist recorded interviews with Varlamova, and whether she was provided with a Russian interpreter.

Wiist said he took photos of Varlamova’s neck and face, but did not take photos of her body because he did not want her to undress. She pointed to several places on her body where she was injured, he said.

Mackey tried to introduce a letter from Varlamova in court, apparently to state the incident was an accident, but Guzman did not allow it.

Voynov’s other attorney, Craig Renetzky, argued that the case should be dismissed or reduced to a misdemeanor because Varlamova did not suffer any broken bones. Guzman, who reviewed the officer’s photographs but did not make them public, rejected both motions and scheduled Voynov’s arraignment for Dec. 29.

During the discussion, Dunnick indicated Voynov had a previous incident of domestic violence, but did not elaborate.

Voynov, wearing a burgundy shirt and dark suit, said nothing during the proceeding. He also was mum as he and his attorneys left the courtroom. They were whisked away quickly in a dark Chevrolet Suburban.

Renetzky has previously called what happened an accident. Varlamova’s attorney, Michael Walsh, represented her in court. He earlier submitted an affidavit from Varlamova in which she states she did not want her husband prosecuted.

Voynov’s suspension means he cannot take part in any team activities or practices. The league fined the Kings $100,000 on Dec. 2 when Voynov was spotted skating with his teammates.

Voynov remains free on $50,000 bail.
