KOCO obtained a probable cause affidavit over the weekend detailing Stark’s alleged physical and sexual abuse of the woman.

The affidavit states that Stark drove the woman to his house with his police unit, but she said she did not want to go there.

The document alleges that Stark took the victim’s phone and she tried to get out of the car, but he accelerated and kicked her into the garage.

The victim told police that Stark held her against her will, choked her, and spat on her. She said he threatened to kill her and held her at gunpoint.

The victim told police that Stark then sexually abused her.

According to court documents, the victim was granted a restraining order against Stark on Saturday.

Stark made national headlines a decade ago after his tracking dog was killed by a suspect, whom Stark subsequently shot. He was later acquitted of any wrongdoing in the man’s shooting.

KOCO 5 reached out to Oklahoma City police, but they declined to comment over the weekend and said Monday that the investigation was outside their jurisdiction. Officials did confirm, however, that Stark is on leave.

KOCO 5 has reached out to Blanchard Police multiple times, as they are the lead investigators on this case, but there has been no response.

Stark’s next court date is scheduled for July 24 in McClain County.
