OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says a state trooper has been arrested on complaints of kidnapping, rape and other crimes after a woman accused him of attacking her following a traffic stop.
Trooper Eric Roberts was arrested Monday and taken to the Creek County jail. Capt. George Brown says the 42-year-old has been on administrative leave since July 24, when a woman alleged he attacked her. The woman has also filed a lawsuit.
The highway patrol hasn't release details, but the patrol's chief is expected to discuss the case later Monday. Jail records don't list Roberts' attorney.
Last month, an Oklahoma City police officer was accused of sexually assaulting at least eight women while on duty. Daniel Holtzclaw has pleaded not guilty to 16 felony counts, including rape and sexual battery.
