A "motion to dismiss" has been submitted in the case against Ardmore police officer Kevin Collman.

ARDMORE, Okla. (KTEN) — A "motion to dismiss" has been submitted in the case against Ardmore police officer Kevin Collman.

Collman was charged with misdemeanor domestic abuse— assault and battery— in January.

The motion, submitted by District 20 District Attorney Melissa Handke, states the alleged victim failed to appear for jury trial after being subpoenaed.

This was after the alleged victim completed a statement on April 25 asking the case be dismissed.

The motion states "the state cannot meet its burden without her cooperation and testimony."
