A Florida man was taken into custody over the weekend after he allegedly cut off his neighbor’s penis in retaliation for sleeping with his wife.
Bonilla, 49, is now facing multiple felony charges as he continues to be held under a $1.25 million bond, according to inmate records from the Gilchrist County Sheriff’s Office.
The disturbing incident occurred late Sunday morning around 11 a.m., First Coast Newsreports.
Deputies told the outlet that they responded to a call of a “stabbing/cutting” at a mobile home and later learned that an armed man — whom they later identified as Bonilla — had broken into the male caller’s residence and cut off his penis.

Once officers arrived at the scene, the male victim said that Bonilla came over — handgun in possession — and threatened to kill him if he resisted,according toNBC News.
The victim was then forced to his bedroom, where Bonilla allegedly used a pair of scissors to mutilate the man because he believed his neighbor had slept with his wife.

While this was happening, the alleged victim’s two children were inside the residence, the Gilchrist County Sheriff’s Office told First Coast News. Bonilla then allegedly fled the scene with the severed appendage.
