On Sunday, August 10, 2025, at 0722 hours, I was dispatched to [70 BLOCK] Adams Chapel Rd, in reference to a domestic. The call initially came in as a medical incident, however, Bartow dispatchers could hear a male and female verbally arguning in the background of the call.

Upon arrival, two Bartow County Firefighters ([REDACTED] and [REDACTED]), two Metro EMS Paramedics ([VICTIM #1] and [REDACTED]) and Sergeant Stephen Page with Euharlee Police Department were on scene assessing the situation.

As I walked up to the front porch of the residence, I observed the female caller, Shelby Fednander, begin screaming at [VICTIM #1]. [VICTIM #1] was attempting to have the juvenile-aged children step inside away from the scene which was unfolding. It appeared that [VICTIM #1] had stepped near the door frame behind the three children who were in process of walking inside of the residence. Myself and all of the other first responders on scene witnessed Shelby grab [VICTIM #1]’s right arm and forcefully pull her away from the front door of the residence. Shelby then yelled “Outside, outside. Get out!” at [VICTIM #1]. At this point, [VICTIM #1] had not yet entered in to the home and was standing near the outside storm door when Shelby initiated the physical contact.

Shelby continued yelling things which I couldn’t quite understand. Sergeant Page and I immediately made the determination to detain Shelby for officer/first responder safety. As we went hands on and attempted to handcuff Shelby, she began tensing up and trying to pull her arms out of both of our grasp. Shelby continued to thrash against us. I attempted to pull Shelby on to the ground to gain control, but she slipped away from my grip which caused me to fall forcefully on to my right knee leaving me with a knee injury (documented via a Bartow County job related injury form).

Sergeant Page drew out his department issued taser and gave Shelby loud verbal commands to turn around and put her hands behind her back. Shelby obliged with commands and I was able to place her hands behind her back in handcuffs. Sergeant Page and I physically escorted Shelby to the rear of my patrol vehicle. While doing so, Shelby was still combative and continued to scream and try to get away from us the entire walk to the patrol car. Shelby then had to be physically forced in to the vehicle by officers on scene.

I met with Shelby’s husband, [VICTIM #2] who sustained injuries from Shelby prior to my arrival. [VICTIM #2] had visible scratch marks to both sides of his lower back. [VICTIM #2] stated Shelby has recently been dealing with mental/paranoid episodes. Law enforcement had been called out three seperate times since last date for these issues, prior to today’s incident (Ref. 2025-22732, 2025-22736, 2025-22819).

[VICTIM #2] stated in regards to today’s call, Shelby had convinced herself that their eldest daughter, [REDACTED BY AGENCY] had gotten into her purse and taken some of her medication. Based on Shelby’s 911 call from today, it appeared that she thought [REDACTED BY AGENCY] was having a reaction to ingesting one of her pills. Shelby also relayed to dispatch that she thought her son, [REDACTED BY AGENCY] also took same medication and believed him to be having an adverse reaction.

[VICTIM #2] stated what Shelby was alleging never happened and none of the children ingested her pills. [VICTIM #2] explained that everyone ended up outside and he observed Shelby forcing their youngest daughter, [REDACTED BY AGENCY] to walk down the front porch steps. [VICTIM #2] stated this same thing happened on the last incident (2025-22819) which was also documented in a police report. [VICTIM #2] stated it was almost identical to this morning’s 911 call, in which he descibed that Shelby was trying to drag [REDACTED BY AGENCY] down the steps against her will.

[VICTIM #2] stated he approached Shelby and got control of [REDACTED BY AGENCY] [VICTIM #2] then told [REDACTED BY AGENCY] to get inside and when [REDACTED BY AGENCY] started toward the house, Shelby ran after her. [VICTIM #2] stated when Shelby realized he had [REDACTED BY AGENCY] Shelby the redirected and came after him. [VICTIM #2] stated he turned his body away from her to sheild [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and Shelby started attacking him which resulted in the scratch marks to his back. [VICTIM #2] stated [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and [REDACTED BY AGENCY] witnessed this.

Shelby was searched incident to arrest and was later transported to the Bartow County Jail without incident.

I later secured 8 warrants on Shelby for felony obstruction (X2), felony willful interference with emergency medical professionals by use of threats or violence, simple battery, battery FVA, and cruelty to children- 3rd degree FVA (X3).
