OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — New court documents shine a light on the timeline of events that allegedly led to a now-suspended Oklahoma City police officer's arrest on November 30.

Shamar Kitchens was in Canadian County jail for about a day before he posted his bond and was released.

Since then, charges have not been filed because the investigation at the Oklahoma City Police Department continues. So far, a search warrant for his phone has brought up more details that hadn't been released yet.

Details allege that he had been driving the victim and another woman home after a bar in Norman had closed, it was after 2 a.m.

On the trip, an argument ensued between Kitchens and the victim over her phone.

Allegedly the third passenger was dropped off and Kitchens, with the victim, continued to her home. However, the victim told police that, at one point, it escalated and Kitchens allegedly grabbed a firearm and began threatening to kill the woman, her child, and himself.

The woman told police that he started to punch her, allegedly striking her, "six times in the face and head," and also pulling her hair several times.

Court documents say that Kitchens then drove down back roads and parked at the entrance of a field somewhere near Southwest 15th Street and Mustang Road. He turned to her and allegedly told her to get in the back seat. She said she asked why and that he told her he was going to have sex with her, but she said no.

However, because she said she felt threatened, she did everything he told her to do. The victim told police that she was scared for her and her child's lives and didn't want to say no.

It was then that he allegedly sexually assaulted the victim for "several minutes" before taking her home.

The victim told police Kitchens pointed a firearm at her head after he dropped her off at home and allegedly warned her not to tell anybody about what happened. She called 911 immediately.

Nearly three weeks have gone by since Kitchens' arrest and police said they are investigating.

The Canadian County District Attorney told News 4 Wednesday that charges could come soon, but his office is waiting on officials to finish up the investigation.

The Protective Order, that the victim filed almost immediately after his arrest, was granted and stated that he could not go near her for at least six months or more.
