Ramsay said police officers arrested Alexsa Lashae Rahming, who works at the Monroe County Detention Center on Stock Island, on Saturday for misdemeanor battery in Key West.
A woman was injured after Rahming, 27, allegedly pushed her down the stairs shortly before 3 a.m. — even after officers had ordered her to stay away from her — in the area of Angela Street, according to the Key West Police Department. The victim suffered cuts during the fall.
Aside from the Key West criminal investigation, Ramsay announced there is also an internal affairs investigation and Rahming will be on unpaid leave pending the outcome of both. Rahming is facing a misdemeanor battery charge.
