ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Four police supervisors are the subjects of internal-affairs investigations following the arrest of Sgt. Patrick Ficke for domestic violence, Albuquerque Police Department Chief Ray Schultz has confirmed.

Ficke is charged with false imprisonment, child abuse and battery against a household member for allegedly getting violent with his wife during an argument on Feb. 10.

Ficke's wife says hours earlier she dropped him off at the Marble Brewery with some friends.

An internal investigation will find out if those friend included SWAT team Sgt. Alexander Catsis, Commander Joe Christmas, Lt. Troy Luna and Sgt. Daniel Campbell.

It's unknown if any of them were drinking, driving an APD vehicle or on call that night.
