James Otterbine, 32, is charged with kidnapping and domestic abuse in the presence of a child in Canadian County, Okla. Canadian County Sheriff's Department

A former cop is charged with kidnapping a woman he met online after she flew from Miami, Fla. to Oklahoma to be with him, police there say.

James Otterbine, 32, was arrested on Tuesday after the woman escaped from his car and called 911, according to a news release from Canadian County Sheriff Chris West. She has not been identified by authorities.

Otterbine has been charged with kidnapping and domestic abuse in the presence of a child, jail records indicate.

Otterbine and the woman met online about two months ago, according to West, and struck up a relationship from 1,500 miles away. It was only after he paid for her flight to Oklahoma that she noticed a more violent side to Otterbine, she told police.

Canadian County OK. Great. Why couldn't it be Bolivian County, or Kazakhstan County? Anything else would have been fine.

Otterbine told investigators that the "torture" he subjected the woman to was "consensual," West wrote, because the woman liked "rough sex." He told investigators that his 10-year-old son was present during another of the "brutal" episodes.

The woman also accused Otterbine of locking her in his basement with the lights turned off, and making repeated threats to kill her and then himself, the release states.

Otterbine told police those episodes were just "spats," though.

In his mind he was well along in the relationship. Wonder what's buried in his closet?

<<Otterbine's Linkedin profile and his Facebook profile still list his current employer as the Geary Police Department, but a police dispatcher told McClatchy that Otterbine had been terminated from the department "a month or two ago." That dispatcher said she did not know whether the termination had anything to do with the allegedly abusive relationship and referred all other questions to the department's human resources department.

According to Oklahoma court records, Otterbine was the arresting officer in several cases out of Blaine County, even as recently as April 5.>>
