Aggie Kalyn Hunt, 36, wife of Lee County sheriff primary winner Cam Hunt, was arrested Monday for domestic violence in the third degree.
Aggie Kalyn Hunt was booked into the Lee County Jail at 12 a.m. Her bond was set at $1,000.
Cam Hunt recently won the primary election in the Lee County sheriff race, defeating Jay Jones. Jones has served as the county’s sheriff for the last 28 years. Cam Hunt released a statement Monday evening on Facebook.
“This is a private family matter involving people I love and care about deeply. Out of respect for everyone involved, I will not be discussing details publicly or engaging in speculation online," Cam Hunt said. "I understand there will naturally be commentary and rumors, but I would ask people to remember that my family deserves privacy, grace and dignity during a difficult moment."
The Opelika Police Department will not be releasing more details due to the sensitivity of parties involved in misdemeanor and domestic violence cases.
“I also want people to know that I’m fine, the kids are fine and Kalyn is fine. While this situation has unfortunately become public, it is still a deeply personal matter for our family," Cam Hunt said. "My focus right now is on my children, my family and moving forward appropriately. I appreciate the concern, prayers and support from those who have reached out."
CORRECTION: A previous version of this article said that Cam Hunt was the Lee County sheriff-elect. This was incorrect, Cam Hunt has won the primary election, and must still officially win the general election in November. The Auburn Plainsman apologizes for this mistake.
