Prosecutors said Gravelle's wife was delayed in reporting the allegations and it was unclear the date of the offense. She blamed the alleged violence on Gravelle's drug and alcohol addictions.

Sunrise Police told CBS4's Carey Codd that Gravelle is still on administrative leave and that an Internal Affairs investigation is underway.
