Alezsha Evans, 31, was placed on administrative leave on June 8 after an investigation into alleged abuse. During the investigation, detectives learned Evans accused her dating partner of hitting her, which resulted in their arrest.

According to an affidavit, Evans allegedly choked and struck the victim with a whip, leaving whelps on their arm and a scratch on their chest after an argument outside of their home on June 1. The victim told detectives that Evans took their glasses off their face and broke them.

Investigators said the neighbor’s doorbell camera captured the incident, which supported the victim’s story and identified Evans. The victim showed detectives photos of their injuries that were dated June 1.

Evans was arrested and booked into prison on charges of domestic abuse battery and simple criminal damage to property.

The sheriff’s office said she was hired to work in corrections on May 28. She was fired after a review of the evidence.
