A UAPD corporal was arrested Friday on charges of assaulting his wife after he accused her of adultery.
Vincent David Tracey Jr., 32, who has been with UAPD for more than 10 years, was arrested for punching his wife Thursday night, Tucson police reports stated.
The fight was over an Eegee's receipt Tracey found in his wife's purse that caused him to believe she was seeing someone else, reports stated.
Tracey turned himself in to the Tucson Police Department at noon Friday and was charged with assault, disorderly conduct and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Tracey's wife told police she had gone out with her daughters to get food Thursday and received several calls on her cell phone from Tracey while she was gone, reports stated.
Tracey's wife said that when she came back to the house, Tracey was upset she hadn't answered her phone. He began looking through her purse, reports stated.
An argument then ensued and ended when Tracey punched through his wife's Styrofoam food container, hitting her stomach, reports stated.
According to the report, his wife received minor injuries.
The couple's daughters locked themselves in the guesthouse while their parents were fighting. One told police she heard her mom shriek along with crashes. She then saw her mother walk out with food all over her, the report stated.
Tracey's wife told police that Tracey had left after the assault and took his fanny pack and possibly his Glock pistol. She also told police Tracey had been drinking all day, the report stated.
A restraining order has been placed on Tracey, and his wife allowed police to remove all firearms from the house, the report stated.
UAPD was unavailable for comment yesterday, but Cmdr. Kevin Haywood told the Tucson Citizen Tracey was still employed by the department.
