"An Albuquerque Police Department sergeant resigned Monday after being arrested on charges he beat his wife.Sgt. Patrick Ficke resigned from the force after being arrested on charges of child abuse, false imprisonment and battery. A police report said an argument late Sunday night over trust issues along with a text message led the 33-year-old member of the Eastside Narcotics Unit to assault his wife.\"It's very uncomfortable,\" said Nick Onken from the Rio Rancho Police Department. \"It's not anything that any officer wants to deal with.\"The police report says Ficke was drunk when he called his wife names, hit her on the nose with his cellphone and grabbed her by the back of the neck. The report says Ficke went into the garage, and his wife told police she then heard the sound of a gun clicking.Ficke's wife managed to get herself and her two children into her car and left the house. She met with police at a Walgreens about three miles from her home to file a report. Officers said they immediately noticed she was bruised on her arms and the back of her neck and a small lump on her left temple.\"Much of this case took place in the presence of their children,\" Onken said.Police said Ficke is cooperating with investigators. He turned himself in to police on Monday at Rio Rancho Police Headquarters without incident.Mrs. Ficke declined to be interviewed on camera, but she asked for privacy for her family and said her children are doing OK."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
