Binghamton Police Chief Joseph Zikuski will resign from the department next week.
The resignation comes after an investigation into an incident in July involving Zikuski and his girlfriend.
Zikuski’s girlfriend, Susan Rice, was charged with harassment after a video showed her arguing with her 16-year-old neighbor and his 18-year-old friend in Johnson City on July 18.
The video showed Rice striking the 16-year-old, who then struck Rice. Zikuski is seen on video helping Rice off the porch.
Zikuski has been on administrative leave since July 20. He will officially resign from his position on Monday, Oct. 6.
Acting Police Chief John C. Ryan will continue to lead the department in an interim role.
