EL PASO COUNTY, COLO. -- El Paso County Sheriff's Deputy Amanda Washburn was arrested Monday on suspicion of domestic violence after an argument with Ryan Harris in the 1200 block of Dustrude Lane. 

Washburn was released Tuesday on a personal recognizance bond after concerns for her safety in jail.

During her video advisement, the victim at the center of the case spoke on behalf of Washburn. He said he did not want to press charges and did not want her to spend any more time behind bars.

According to the affidavit, Washburn got into an argument with Harris Sunday because she believed he spent too much time on Halloween with his ex-wife.

The dispute took place in front of Harris' two young children as Harris tried to walk into his home.

But while closing the front door, Washburn wedged herself in the doorway and at one point hit Harris in the chest with the palm of her hand.

Washburn refused to leave, and, according to Harris, she threw chunks of concrete at the side of his house.

Washburn eventually called the El Paso County Emergency dispatch to say Harris had pushed her, but also admitted to following Harris to his parents' house to make sure she knew where he was.

There is a mandatory protection order for Harris' two children.

Washburn is not allowed to make contact with them for the next seven days.

As part of her personal recognizance bond, Washburn must now call and check in with her direct supervisor everyday.

The spokesperson for the El Paso County Sheriff's Office is not commenting on the case.
