MCCLAIN COUNTY, Okla. (KFOR) – An Oklahoma City Police sergeant was arrested Saturday in McClain County on multiple charges, including kidnapping and rape.

Records show OKCPD Sergeant Ryan Stark was arrested just after noon in Blanchard on charges of domestic assault and battery, first-degree rape, threatening violence, kidnapping, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and disrupting, preventing or interrupting an emergency telephone call.

Sgt. Stark gained notoriety in 2014 after his K9 Kye was stabbed to death after a high-speed chase. Stark opened fire and killed the suspect at the time, 22-year-old Mark Salazar. Sgt. Stark was ultimately cleared of all charges after the district attorney's investigation.
