Rep. Tracy Estes (R) faces accusations of making violent threats

An Alabama state representative had a protective order filed against him Friday after allegedly making violent threats against another person.

The petition for protection from abuse attached to the order in the filing in the Circuit Court of Marion County said that Rep. Tracy Estes, R-Winfield, verbally threatened the recipient of the order for two hours. The person said she was afraid she would be seriously injured and that Estes threatened to hurt her.

A message was left at a number listed in Estes’ campaign filings. No attorneys for either party were listed in online records early Saturday afternoon.

House Speaker Nathaniel Ledbetter, R-Rainsville, said in a statement Saturday via spokesperson that he is aware of the situation and he has confidence that “our justice system will determine an appropriate course of action.”
