Man suspected of attempted murder after La Habra domestic violence incident
LA HABRA -- A man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and making threats this week after severely beating a woman, authorities said Wednesday.
Francisco Millan, 29, of Los Angeles was being held in lieu of $500,000 bail, according to La Habra police spokeswoman Cindy Knapp and Orange County sheriff's booking records.
Police responded to a report of domestic violence about 3 a.m. Sunday at a home in the 600 block of Warne Street, Knapp said.
No weapons were used in the attack, Knapp said, however the woman was beaten so seriously that police decided to pursue the case as an incident of attempted murder.
Authorities found and arrested Millan shortly after the incident in Los Angeles County with the help of Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies, she said.
The woman was expected to recover from her injuries.
Millan was scheduled to appear in Orange County Superior Court for arraignment Tuesday, though an update on the case was not available Wednesday.
