OKLAHOMA CITY (660 NEWS) – A former Calgary Stampeder is facing kidnapping and domestic assault charges following an arrest in Oklahoma City.
Special Teams player Roy Finch was taken into custody after his former girlfriend accused him of punching her dozens of times and refusing to let her leave his motel room.
Finch was also arrested in April 2018 for assaulting police officers in Oklahoma. That took place just two months after he signed a two-year extension with the Stampeders.

The 27-year-old played for the University of Oklahoma from 2010-2013 before joining the preseason roster for the New England Patriots.
He began his CFL career in 2014 as a member of the newly formed Ottawa Redblacks.
