LSP still looking into shooting of deputy’s husband

Louisiana State Police are still investigating the Dec. 29 shooting death of 34-year-old Kendall Alexander by his wife, Crystal Alexander, 33, a deputy with the St. Martin Parish Sheriff’s Department.

Meanwhile, the deputy is on administrative leave, according to SMSO Mag, Ginny Higgins.

According to records on file with the St. Martin Parish Clerk of Court, Crystal Clues obtained three restraining orders against Alexander starting in 2005.

In 2007, Alexander was charged with violation of a protective order, stalking and simple assault after he allegedly grabbed Clues by the hair and dragged her from a friend’s house. He pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of disturbing the peace and paid a fine of $50, plus court costs.

The couple was married in April 2008.

Shootings involving commissioned peace officers are routinely turned over to the state police for investigation.
