The Cass County Sheriff’s Department received a 911 call on August 19th regarding a twenty-three-month-old child that was reportedly run over by a vehicle in rural Cass Lake, MN.
Officers responded to the residence and performed lifesaving measures on the child who was later flown to the Sanford Hospital in Fargo. The subsequent investigation led investigators to believe the injuries sustained were the direct result of blunt force trauma through suspected child abuse and not from an automobile accident as initially reported.
The child’s mother 30year old Larena Jackson, of Cass Lake, MN, was taken into custody on August 22nd and booked into the Cass County Detention Center on charges of Attempted Second Degree Murder, First Degree Assault, and Malicious Punishment of a Child.
On August 24th the CCSO was notified that the child died as a result of the injuries sustained. Cass County Attorney Ben Lindstrom has amended the criminal complaint to 2nd Degree Murder, First Degree Assault, Malicious Punishment of a Child, and Fleeing a Peace Officer.
