Back in 2010, KOAT (Albuquerque) wasted viewers’ time by showing the wedding photos of Anchor Shelly Ribando.

Ribando. gushed about her beautiful wedding in Santa Fe as the pictures scrolled by on the screen.

Fast forward a decade later and it seems that KOAT is ignoring the story in which Ribando is claiming she is the victim of domestic violence.

The Albuquerque Police Department says a criminal summons will be issued for Michael Patrick for the charge of battery on a household member. The alleged victim is his wife, KOAT’s Shelly Ribando.

Police were called to the couple’s Northeast Albuquerque home Tuesday after a credit card agent on the phone with Ribando reported that she heard a scuffle and that Ribando said her husband hit her, a police report states.

They were arguing because Patrick had used a credit card to get an apartment, and Ribando was trying to cancel the payment. Ribando reportedly told responding officers that Patrick pushed her down and that he also pushed their 8-year-old daughter. Patrick denied the allegations, and his daughter also denied being pushed by him. Police said they did not observe any injuries on anyone.

Her husband worked as a spokesman for the Bernalillo County District Attorney.

The DA’s office in a statement issued Friday said Patrick “has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation into (the) allegations.” The office also noted that APD would be making any criminal referral to an independent special prosecutor.

“This office will also conduct a thorough investigation into Mr. Patrick’s conduct and will make a separate determination about his future employment once APD has concluded its criminal investigation,” Adolfo J. Mendez II, chief of policy and planning, said in the statement.

Here’s the story the station did when the two were married:
