Two people were arrested and charged in connection to a toddler’s death in April 2021.
“He had a broken arm, but it started to heal back. He had a crushed skull and numerous abrasions. There were two separate incidents. I don’t know if they got high that day or what happened,” said Sanders.
Reportedly, on April 11, 2021, the officers responded to the intersection of Highway 24 and County Road 214, where they saw someone performing a CPR on a child. Then the kid was rushed to Decatur-Morgan Hospital and then was transferred to the Birmingham hospital.
Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office reported that on April 12 Harmon was charged with aggravated child abuse and taken to the Lawrence County Jail with a $60,000 bond. She was released after posting bond in September 2021.
“She got out on bond. The reason everything is coming up now is because we just got the autopsy back. When she was arrested back in April, there still was a charge of child abuse,” said Sanders.
Coleman was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated child abuse, one count of chemical endangerment and murder.
Harmon was arrested and charged with murder, one count of aggravated child abuse, one count of chemical endangerment.
