A County Detention Officer was recently arrested for alleged domestic violence and is no longer employed by the Sheriffâ€™s Office.

Sean Kerney, 25, was arrested on Sunday following a domestic violence investigation by the Rock Springs Police Department at a residence on Silver Creek Drive.

In a release, Sweetwater County Sheriff Mike Lowell said Kerney was a probationary Detention Officer working at the Sweetwater County Detention Center at the time of his arrest, but is no longer employed by the Sheriffâ€™s Office.

Kerney is charged with Domestic Battery. According to court documents, the victim and Kerney â€œare in a dating relationship and share a minor child together.â€

The victim told investigating officers Kerney â€œgrabbed a bottle very aggressively and scratched [her] on the right side of the face near the mouth.â€Â Officers â€œobserved a scratch mark near the right side of [her] face and that [her] face was puffy and red in color.â€

The victim said Kerney â€œpushed her several times,â€ struck [her] â€œin the center of the chestâ€ with his elbow, â€œâ€˜body checkedâ€™ [her] into the front glass door,â€ and â€œstepped on [her] bare feet.â€

Several witnesses were also interviewed.

Kerney was taken into custody and transported to the Sweetwater County Detention Center. He was released on Monday.

A court date has been set for February 13.
