On Saturday, June 8, PCSO deputies responded to a Pueblo West home on a report of an unresponsive 3-
year-old child. The child had visible injuries and was taken to a local hospital before being transferred via helicopter to a Colorado Springs hospital. A second child, a 14-year-old boy, also had visible injuries and
was taken to a local hospital where he was treated and released. The teen has been placed with the
Department of Human Services.

Samantha Kimberly was questioned and arrested the night of the incident. Farmer was arrested Wednesday at the Pueblo West home she shared with Kimberly and the children.

“No child should have to experience what these two children have been through,” said Pueblo County
Sheriff David J. Lucero. “My detectives will continue to work to ensure that those responsible for this
heinous crime are held accountable.”
