Farmington Police Department detectives have arrested two individuals following an investigation into allegations of severe child abuse.
On September 16, 2024, detectives received a referral from Child Protective Services regarding concerns for a child's welfare. Reports indicated the child had been locked in a chicken coop for extended periods and exposed to extreme weather conditions. Detectives immediately responded, removed the child from the home, and gathered evidence corroborating the allegations.
Following the investigation, on February 18, 2025, Patricia Madrid (36) and Jammy Jackson (59) were arrested and charged with 14 felony counts, including child abuse and conspiracy to commit child abuse.
This case underscores the critical collaboration between the Farmington Police Department and Child Protective Services in ensuring the safety and well-being of vulnerable children. The investigation remains ongoing.
Officers canvassed the area for the suspect; however, investigators believe the individual left the area prior to police arrival. The Farmington Police Department is releasing a video of a person of interest. The video shows a male on a bicycle headed east on Navajo Street towards Lincoln Avenue. The Farmington Police Department urges anyone with information or video surveillance from the area to contact detectives at 505-599-1068.
The $2.2 million Student Health Center spans 2,652 square feet and is designed to provide accessible healthcare services on campus.
The center features two exam rooms, three offices for medical and behavioral health professionals, restrooms, storage areas, and additional support spaces.
The charges include conspiracy to manufacture and distribute marijuana, manufacture of 1,000 kilograms and more of marijuana and 1,000 and more marijuana plants, possession with intent to distribute 1,000 kilograms and more of marijuana and 1,000 and more marijuana plants, maintaining drug-involved premises, and two counts of knowingly discharging pollutants into waters of the United States without a permit.
“We’re excited to bring this new United Express service to the four corners area,” said Cody Thomas, Managing Director of Market Development at SkyWest Airlines. "Little is more important to a community than quality air service. With just one flight from FMN, passengers can easily connect to hundreds of destinations worldwide on United’s global network through Denver.”
