most likely there is a shorted diode inside the alternator, the regulator contacts are sticking, or there is a wiring harness short. beyond that, you get to open a can of worms.
take the alternator off and have it tested, if you have a spare, good regulator, swap it in place of the existing one(make sure the body ground to the regulator is clean and tight).
