On Monday, May 25, 2026, at 0236 hours, I was dispatched to [REDACTED], for a physical domestic dispute in progress.
On arrival, I was greeted by the victim/911 caller, [VICTIM #1], who communicated to me that his girlfriend, Estefany Sanchez, had been physical with him a few minutes prior.
I spoke to [REDACTED BY AGENCY] through the bedroom door and identified myself, yet she refused to come out. She made comments through the door that she would kill herself. Shortly after, she exited the bedroom with her daughter, [REDACTED BY AGENCY], in her arms and turned the child over to [VICTIM #1]. Next, she proceeded to enter the room again, and at this point, I grabbed her and attempted to detain her, but she refused by pushing away and pulling her arms. She was taken to the ground and put in handcuffs. Immediately, she began kicking at another deputy and me. She slipped her handcuffs a few times, and zip cuffs were applied, yet she still refused to cooperate and continued kicking at officers. She was then placed in the rear of my patrol vehicle.
I relocated and asked [VICTIM #1] how this incident occurred, and he explained that Estefany had been drinking alcohol all night, and they began to have a conversation over their relationship. [VICTIM #1] located messages on Estefany where she talked “dirty” to a male, and he instructed her to block the number. She got upset and began to make suicidal comments to harm herself. She grabbed a blade and cut her arms, and at this point, [VICTIM #1] proceeds to take the blade away, and Estefany begins to scratch and bite [VICTIM #1] on the arms and torso. He then exits the bedroom, and she locks herself in the room with their child, [REDACTED].
I observed scratch marks on [VICTIM #1]’s right bicep and both forearms. Photos of his injuries were taken with my body-worn camera.
Estefany told Deputy Carrington, after being read Miranda rights and agreeing to speak, that she and [VICTIM #1] had gotten into an argument about their relationship, and [VICTIM #1] started pushing and getting in her face. He called her a wh*re, and she said she lost it and started hitting, scratching, and biting him. [VICTIM #1] again called her a who*e, which triggered her, and she said she started hitting him because he was in her face. She went to the bathroom to take anxiety medicine, yet she was not going to kill herself by taking pills. She did say that she was suicidal several times while in the presence of Deputy Carrington.
After speaking to [VICTIM #1] and seeing his injuries, I had established enough probable cause to arrest Estefany for Battery (Family Violence), Cruelty to Children 3rd degree (Family Violence), and two counts of Felony Obstruction.
Estefany was transported to the Bartow County Sheriff’s Office, where she was deferred to Piedmont Cartersville Hospital, where another deputy stood by until she was discharged.

BOND SET AND POSTED — ESTEFANY ABIGAIL SANCHEZ RELEASED ON $8,500 BOND
What this means: Estefany Abigail Sanchez, who is facing charges in Bartow County Superior Court (Case No. SUW2026001346) including two counts of felony willful obstruction of law enforcement officers, cruelty to a child, and family violence battery, was released from custody after an $8,500 bond was posted. The bond was approved by the Bartow County Sheriff’s Office. A court date was noted as “to be mailed,” meaning Sanchez would receive notice of her next hearing by mail. Being released on bond means Sanchez was allowed to leave jail while the case proceeds, on the condition that she appears for all future court dates. Failure to appear as required by law could result in the bond being revoked and a warrant being issued for her arrest.
