An Oklahoma City officer was arrested late Thursday on suspicion of domestic abuse, police said.

"The officer, David Burnett, has been placed on suspension with pay. He's a 26-year veteran on the police department," said Sgt. Gary Knight.

Prosecutors said they have not filed charges against Burnett.
