Plaintiff,
vs.
JIMMY PERCIVAL, JR., AND BANCFIRST,
Defendants.
Case No. CJ 2026-12
VERIFIED PETITION
COMES NOW, Plaintiff, Flying K Land Service, LLC (hereinafter "Plaintiff" or "Flying K"), for its action against Defendants, Jimmy Percival, Jr. (hereinafter "Percival") and BancFirst, alleges and states as follows:
1. Plaintiff Flying K is a domestic limited liability company doing business in Oklahoma.
2. Defendant Percival is an individual and owner of certain real property in Canadian County, Oklahoma that is more particularly described herein.
3. Defendant BancFirst is a domestic corporation doing business in the State of Oklahoma.
4. Venue is proper under 12 O.S. §137 as the events or commissions giving rise to Plaintiff's claims occurred in Canadian County, State of Oklahoma.
FACTUAL BACKGROUND
Plaintiff fully incorporates each allegation in the preceding paragraphs of this Petition as if each were fully iterated verbatim herein.
5. Prior to the subject of this dispute, Percival and Flying K’s principal owner Jeremy Knox had a longstanding friendship. Based on this friendship, Percival approached Flying K to help him with a construction project on his property, located at 10709 Darlington Road NW Property, Calumet, Oklahoma (the “Project” and/or “Project Property”).
6. Specifically, Flying K and Percival entered into an agreement whereby Flying K agreed to provide labor in connection with the construction of a metal building shell and interior framing in relation to the Project Property. Percival agreed to pay Flying K the agreed upon sum of $25,000 for its services related to the metal building and $2,700 for the interior framing Ex. 1, March 7, 2022, Invoice. The agreed upon sum of $2,700 for the interior framing was a verbal agreement.
7. Thereafter, Percival delayed start of the Project until 2024.
8. Flying K subsequently provided labor and fully completed its contractual obligations owed to Percival on the Project Property in 2024, to wit:
a. In June of 2024, Flying K completed the framing for the metal building shell. Flying K invoiced Percival on June 17, 2024, in the amount of $8,750 for the completed labor and services provided on the Project Property. Ex. 1-A, June 17, 2024, Invoice. No complaints, objections or concerns about workmanship were raised by Percival. Percival paid this invoice.
b. In August of 2024, Flying K installed the doors and windows on the metal building and prepared it for the spray foam insulation. Flying K invoiced Percival on August 9, 2024 in the amount of $8,750 for the completed labor and services provided on the Project Property. Ex. 1-B, August 9,
2024, Invoice. No complaints, objections or concerns about workmanship were raised by Percival. Percival paid this invoice.
c. In October of 2024, Flying K completed the metal sheeting on the eve and the remaining exterior trim work on the metal building and completed all the interior framing. Flying K then made demand for payment of the remaining balance of $7,500 that was owed for the completed labor on the metal building shell and payment of $2,700 owed for interior framing that was completed on the Project Property. This time, however, Percival refused to make payment, contending for the first time that no further payments would be made until half of the Project was complete.
9. As a result, and after several failed attempts to obtain payment from Percival for the labor that had been performed and completed on the Project Property, Percival was notified by Flying K that it would not agree to undertake any additional work on the Project until payment for the completed labor and service that had already been furnished had been received. Failing to receive payment, Flying K removed its equipment from the Project Property.
10. At no time prior to this did Percival ever advise Flying K of any workmanship issues with the metal building shell or interior framing. Instead, in November 2024, Percival advised Flying K that if payment was not being made "fast enough then [Flying K] needed to get a lawyer, [and] [o]ther than that, [he would] get back to [Flying K] when [he] made a decision" about whether to pay Flying K or not. Percival then ceased all communications with Flying K. Percival never appraised Flying K of any decision on whether payment of the outstanding amounts owed for labor that was completed on the Project Property would be paid or not.
11. On December 24, 2024, Flying K sent an invoice to Percival in the amount of $12,240. This amount reflects the remainder owed for labor on the completed metal building shell ($7,500), framing of all interior walls ($2,700), and 10% interest ($2,040) on sixty (60) days past due balance. Ex. 1-C, Dec. 24, 2024, Invoice. No payment was received.
12. As a result of Percival’s refusal and failure to pay the balance owed to Flying K, Jermey Knox, as principal owner, recorded a Mechanic’s Lien on January 7, 2025, in the amount of $12,240 at Book 117, Page 670-672, in the Office of County Clerk for Canadian County (herein after the “Lien”). Ex. 2, Lien.
13. As of this filing, Percival has refused to pay Flying K the unpaid balance shown in the December 24, 2024, Invoice for the labor and services performed and furnished on the Project Property.
FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION
BREACH OF CONTRACT
Plaintiff fully incorporates each allegation in the preceding paragraphs of this Petition as if each were fully iterated verbatim herein.
14. Flying K and Percival formed a contract in which Percival agreed to pay Flying K for labor and services in relation to certain construction work to be performed on Percival’s Project.
15. Flying K performed said work, fulfilling its contractual obligation to Percival.
16. Percival has failed and refused to pay Flying K, in violation of the express and implied terms of his contract with Flying K.
17. As a direct result of Percival’s breach of contract, Flying K has not been paid for labor and services provided on said Project Property.
18. Although demand has been made, Percival has refused to pay the full amount due and owing to Flying K and is in breach of the contract.
19. Flying K is entitled to recover the balance owed of $12,240 from Percival, plus all applicable interest, costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION
UNJUST ENRICHMENT/QUANTUM MERUIT
Plaintiff fully incorporates each allegation in the preceding paragraphs of this Petition as if each were fully iterated verbatim herein.
20. Flying K furnished valuable services to Percival with the reasonable expectation of being compensated. Percival knowingly accepted the benefit of the labor and services furnished by Flying K and Percival would be unfairly benefitted by the labor if no compensation was paid to Flying K.
21. The reasonable value of the labor and services furnished by Flying K is $12,240.
THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION
FORECLOSURE OF MECHANIC’S LIEN
Plaintiff fully incorporates each allegation in the preceding paragraphs of this Petition as if each were fully iterated verbatim herein.
22. On January 7, 2025, Jeremy Knox, as principal owner of Flying K, filed a Lien (attached hereto as Exhibit 2) to secure payment for and on account of labor and services performed and furnished on Percival’s Project Property, as more fully described, to wit:
A tract of land in the Northwest Quart (NW/4) of the Northeast Quarter (NE/4) of Section Twenty-Nine (29), Township Thirteen (13) North, Range Eight (8) West of the Indian Meridian, Canadian County, Oklahoma, more particularly described by meets and bounds as follows:
Beginning at the Northwest corner (NW/C) of the Northeast Quarter (NE/4) of Section Twenty-Nine (29);
Thence S 89°51'00'' E between Sections 20 and 29 a distance of 620.00 feet;
Thence S 02°24'00'' E a distance of 220.00 feet;
Thence S 08°48'40'' W a distance of 164.00 feet;
Thence S 51°45'20'' W a distance of 145.00 feet;
Thence S 43°26'43'' W a distance of 153.21 feet;
Thence S 35°08'20'' W a distance of 175.00 feet;
Thence S 25°19'40'' W a distance of 387.00 feet;

Thence N 00°58'00'' W along the North and South Quarter Section line a distance of 1078.10 feet to the Point and Place of Beginning, commonly known as 10709 Darlington Road NW Property, Calumet, Oklahoma.
23. Defendant BancFirst may claim some right, claim, tile, lien, estate, encumbrance, claim or assessment interest in and to the Project Property covered by the Lien. Flying K alleges any such interest, if any, is junior and subject to the priority lien of Flying K.
24. Flying K is entitled to judgment against Defendants, adjudging that said Lien be foreclosed and have the Project Property sold to satisfy the unpaid balance in the amount of $12,240 with accrued interest thereon, plus interest accruing at the rate ten percent (10%) from December 24, 2024, until paid; costs and a reasonable attorney fee as allowed by law and such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper.
