Alabama cop arrested on domestic violence, child endangerment in altercation with officer

A Sheffield police officer has been arrested on domestic violence charges after an altercation with another Sheffield officer, with whom she is reportedly in a relationship.

Colbert County Sheriff Eric Balentine said Sheffield police were called to a reported incident at around 10:52 p.m. Sunday in the 1100 block of Nashville Avenue in Sheffield.

Once officers learned the incident involved two members of Sheffield’s police force, the Colbert County Sheriff’s Office was contacted.

Kelsey Quesenberry, 26, has been charged with third degree domestic violence, endangering the welfare of a child, and interference with a domestic violence emergency call.

She is being held in the Franklin County Jail on $5,000 bond, Balentine said.

The other person was transported to Helen Keller Hospital for treatment.

The child endangerment charge came because Quesenberry left at least two children unattended in the apartment, Balentine said.

The Colbert County DHR was notified, and the children were removed from the home, according to authorities. Quesenberry has been suspended pending an investigation.
