WINFIELD, Ala. (WDNews) – Rep. Tracy Estes, 57, a Republican from Winfield, was arrested on Friday night on a misdemeanor charge of third-degree domestic violence following an accusation from his wife, Christina Estes. She claimed that during an argument at their home, Estes threatened to beat her and spent two hours pounding on a door after she locked herself inside.
Christina Estes obtained a protective order, barring her husband from coming within 300 feet of her or their home, and he was ordered to surrender any firearms.
Tracy Estes, who was elected to the Alabama House in 2018, represents the 17th District, which includes Lamar, Marion, and Winston counties. He has not yet commented publicly on the arrest, and it remains unclear if he has retained legal representation.
House Speaker Nathaniel Ledbetter addressed the incident, stating, “Alabamians deserve the very best from their elected officials, and it’s my expectation that House Members are beyond reproach in both their professional and personal lives.”
Further details about the case have yet to emerge as the legal process unfolds.
