Maysville Police Chief Robert Peterson has been booked on a domestic abuse complaint involving his girlfriend.
Peterson surrendered Tuesday morning and was released on bond.
His attorney, Scott Spratt, says his client should be presumed innocent and the story of the case will be quite different once Peterson gets to tell his side.
Peterson was previously arrested in a separate domestic dispute involving the same woman in 2007 and pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault in Garvin County.
His girlfriend, Cindy Herrera, who is listed as the victim in the latest allegations, was also charged with assault in the 2007 instance.
The Maysville city council has not determined what actions should be taken regarding Peterson's position as police chief.
