A Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office deputy has been charged in a Center Point crash earlier this month that injured three people, including a young woman and her teen brother.

Deputy Shamonte D. Lanfair, 34, was booked into the Jefferson County Jail Friday on two charges of first-degree assault. She was released after posting $30,000 bond.

Jefferson County sheriff’s officials have not released a statement regarding her arrest.

It was not immediately clear why her information has not been posted on the jail’s public website.

Authorities have not said why Lanfair was charged.

The investigation was led by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.

Lanfair was off duty but in her sheriff’s SUV when the crash happened at an intersection on Alabama 75. She narrowly missed hitting a school bus that had just traveled through the intersection.

The wreck happened at 3:43 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 8.

ALEA Capt. Jeremy Burkett said Lanfair was also injured when the department issued 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe patrol unit she was driving struck a sedan driven by a 22-year-old Kayla Williams of Birmingham.

After the initial impact, ALEA said the sedan then struck a second sedan driven by a 30-year-old Deja S. Davis of Center Point.

Williams and Davis, as well as Williams’ 15-year-old brother, Nick, were all taken to local hospitals for treatment.

Williams was released from the hospital this week. Her mother said her daughter’s life has been changed forever.

Lanfair was taken to UAB Hospital for medical treatment.
