A Glendo, Wyoming, man whose wife helped him dodge an aggravated assault conviction last year now faces numerous violent criminal charges for allegedly torturing and terrorizing her throughout two years of their marriage.

Daniel Leinweber, who is 59 this year, could spend up to life in prison if convicted on the 13-count array of aggravated assault and domestic battery charges against his wife.

His case ascended to the felony-level Platte County District Court on Wednesday. It includes allegations that Leinweber ran down his wife with a truck, pointed a loaded gun at her, thrust a knife at her, hurled her across a floor, tossed her down the hill, kicked her in the ribs and head, ground his fist into her teeth, raped her and yanked her head around by her hair.

The case is ongoing.
