HARMONY, Minn. A Fillmore County 1-year-old died Friday, Feb. 5, after falling into a bucket of water, the Fillmore County Sheriff s Office announced Monday morning, Feb. 8.
Harmony Ambulance and Fillmore County deputies were called about 5:25 p.m. Friday to the 11000 block of Journey Road. The caller reported that a 1-year-old child at the residence drowned after falling into a bucket of water, Fillmore County Sheriff John DeGeorge wrote in a news release.
Lifesaving efforts were unsuccessful. The child s death has been ruled an accidental drowning.
The charges came after products derived from hemp on Hummel s farm were seized in a March 2019 traffic stop and tested above the acceptable 0.3% threshold for THC content. Hummel was not in the car at the time of the stop, but the products came from hemp he was licensed by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture to sell.
In the notice of dismissal dated Dec. 4, Fillmore County Attorney Brett Corson wrote that one or more essential witnesses will be unavailable to testify at trial. With the case being delayed for quite some time, (some witnesses) are just no longer available, Corson said. That makes it pretty difficult to proceed to trial, so that s really what it came down to.
