Olathe Town Administrator Scott Harold said he understood Officer Michael Percival had been suspended from the force after his June 26 warrant arrest by the Montrose County Sheriff's Office.
Percival has since posted a $2,500 bond. A phone number for Percival could not be located.

Police Chief Ric Hawk said he could not comment on the arrest.
The sheriff's office investigation into Percival began after a woman with whom he reportedly had a prior intimate relationship was arrested June 18. According to the Montrose Combined Courts, she has since been charged with third-degree assault, harassment, DUI and phone obstruction; she is also free on bond.
The Daily Press is not identifying the woman at this time, due to the nature of her alleged victimization.
According to Percival's arrest affidavit, Deputy Sue Clements discovered marks on the woman as she was changing into a jail uniform. She reportedly told Clements Percival was responsible, and later elaborated to investigators that Percival had drawn up contracts "dictating what he expected from her on a daily and weekly basis."
She provided two "contracts" she alleged Percival wrote. These reportedly addressed expectations concerning her hygiene, behavior, sexual behavior and clothing, and spelled out punishments, including belt spankings, she could expect if she did not meet demands.
The woman said Percival became angry at her June 15 because she asked why she wasn't included in a fishing trip. She knew she was in for it, she said, and alleged that later that night, Percival arrived and made her submit to a spanking.
The beating was to entail 50 lashes, but he agreed to split up the punishment, she said, administering 25 lashes with a belt that night.
"(Woman) said she had to count each lashing and tell him 'thank you' after each strike and if she failed to count or miscounted, Percival would start over from the beginning," MCSO Investigator David Harrison said in the affidavit.
The woman said the spankings, which she alleged were a regular occurrence over the course of a few years, were not a form of sexual foreplay, but punishment that was painful.
"(She) said she never liked the spanking, but she accepted it from Percival because she loves him," Harrison's affidavit said.
Percival was arrested on a warrant at the Olathe Police Department. He has been charged with third-degree assault and domestic violence and returns to court July 15.
A previous domestic violence case against Percival was dismissed in 2007.

Think about it for a minute if you are able. This is a job that few can/want to do and as with every thing else, you get what you pay for. The caliber of officer at the Olathe Police Department is what they pay for.
Yes, shame on the Town of Olathe for taking what they can get, but it usually comes down to cold hard cash. "

I am very concerned that a policeman, a person sworn to uphold the law, to PROTECT and to serve would beat someone with a belt on a regular basis for giggles.

Are you serios??? Don't get where you are coming from. So you think she should have "negotiated" how much control and abuse she was ok with? No way! Ever think she signed it because she was desperate and already suffering emotional damage from an emotionally abusive relationship?

O.K. We are in a budget crunch. Let's substitue public lashings and/or time in the stocks for fines and jail time for offences less than felonies.
Driving under the influence, 10 lashes with the cat of 9 tails laid on well - in front of the Justice Center. "

Mutual consent is unlikely to be a defense for a violation of the law against assualt - which is a breach of the peace.
I can not accept a police officer who appears to practice sadism in his private life. Where is the Law Officer Certification Program? "

With the standard disclamer that "all spankee's are nice, until proven naughty", this woman's recourse is not punitive action against her perverted boyfriend. It is to choose a direction in life that moves away from a situation that is potentially harmful to her physical and emotional well-being. "
