The system meant to protect you can feel stacked against you when the person committing the abuse wears a badge

When your abusive partner is also a police officer, the line between safety and danger gets dangerously blurred.

Needs for our shelter: We are in need of a booster seat for a toddler to be able to eat at the table safely.

We are also in need of several laundry baskets like the one shown. We would like to be able to give every client that enters our shelter their own laundry basket to keep up with their laundry as well as essential items they will need when they find their safe place to live when they leave our shelter.

If you can help with either, you can call us at 256-891-9864 or 256-891-0019 or if you would like to make a donation to purchase these items our QR codes are pinned at the top of our page.

We are so thankful for our community that always stands up for us and help us whenever we are in need!!! Thank you!!!

Thank you Marshall County Sheriff's Office for all your hard work and dedication to protecting victims of domestic violence.

***PRESS RELEASE**

On July 28, Deputies took a report from a 64 year old female victim. The victim stated that on the night of July 26, 2026, her 36 year old son came into her residence irate with her, and he began strangling her. The victim stated that she attempted to call 911, but the offender took her phone, and refused to let her make any calls. The victim stated that she was strangled until she passed out, at which time the offender released her. Deputies noted bruising on the victim’s arm, along with a scratch on her neck, and other visible injuries consistent with her having been assaulted.

Investigator Hall was assigned the case, and identified Kellis Busbin as the suspect. Hall obtained warrants for Domestic Violence Strangulation, Elder Abuse 2nd Degree, both of which are felony offenses. Busbin had been living in a mobile home on his mother’s property, but fled from there after the incident. MCSO Deputies have made numerous attempts to locate him for over a month.

On August 18, 2026, K-9 Deputy Sgt. Cagan Ridgway was traveling in the 600 Block of North Brindlee Mountain Parkway when he observed Busbin driving. Sgt. Ridgway initiated a traffic-stop and took Busbin into custody without incident. Busbin was booked into the Marshall County Jail on the warrants with a $60,000 Property Bond.

“I want victims of domestic violence and elder abuse to know that the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office takes these cases seriously. We will investigate them thoroughly, we will pursue those accused of committing these crimes, and we will continue looking for them until they are located and brought before the court. As always, I appreciate the dedication of the men and women of the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office who work every day to protect the citizens of Marshall County.”

Sheriff Phil Sims
