Percival is free on bond. He was suspended without pay from the Olathe Police force. Olathe Town Administrator Scott Harold said Percival was slated to have a hearing before the mayor last Tuesday, but did not appear, and the police chief’s decision to suspend Percival without pay was upheld.
A previous charge of domestic violence against Percival involving the same woman was dropped in 2007. In that case, the woman pleaded guilty to obstruction of phone services and received probation.
