**FARMINGTON, N.M. —** A Farmington couple was arrested after allegedly abusing a 15-year-old girl for months.

On Sept. 16, 2024, Farmington detectives received a referral from the Child Protection Services after concerns were raised about a teen's welfare.

According to an arrest warrant, the 15-year-old teen is autistic, has ADHD and suffers from fetal alcohol syndrome. She claimed her father, Jammy Jackson, 59, and his girlfriend, Patricia Madrid, 36, locked her in a chicken coop for several months. She also told investigators she was only allowed to use the bathroom twice a day and had to get approval from her dad and Madrid if she needed to use the restroom outside of her allotted time slots.

**_>> Stay Connected:_** 

A search warrant accuses the couple of using a padlock and chain to lock the teen in the chicken coop and when she didn't have to stay in the coop, the teen was ordered to sleep on the floor inside the house. The teen also told law enforcement she was starved, only fed noodles, had to sneak around to steal vegetables to eat and was forced to stand outside during winter weather. The teen also accused Jackson of putting a gun to her head.

On Sept. 20, law enforcement executed a search warrant on the couple's home in the 1000 block of North Auburn Avenue. Because there was an order of protection between Jackson and Madrid, Jackson was not supposed to be at the residence. He told law enforcement he was in Durango.

Madrid met officers at her home, allowing them inside to execute the search warrant. She told investigators that Jackson should be at the house. According to a warrant, "Madrid left the view of the officers and was not following officer's commands to come back upstairs. It appeared she was trying to stall."

**_>> Stay up-to-date:_** 

As officers clear the home, they spot Jackson as he pops his head out of a door. He was eventually detained. Officers believed he was attempting to evade them. Officers spot dozens of cameras inside and outside of the home. They also found a padlock and chain by the chicken coop in the backyard. Detectives also collected a Night Owl DVR, cellphones and an iPad.

Detectives spoke with Madrid to inform her of the allegations that were made against her and Jackson. She told investigators the teen was troubled, lied a lot, had bad hygiene and always acted out. When questioned about the abuse allegations, Madrid said the teen had chores, including feeding the chickens and giving them water. When the teen was in trouble, Madrid said they would send her to her room or put her in the living room and tell her she's in time out.

Jackson was also questioned by detectives. He admitted to handling more of the disciplinary issues with his children. He told officers that he and Madrid would talk to the kids when they were in trouble and take away their computers, books or something they enjoy.

Jackson denied the chicken coop allegations and said his 15-year-old daughter was in counseling for a few years to work on her behavior and hygiene.

A search warrant was executed on cellphones belonging to Madrid and Jackson. According to the warrant, detectives came across concerning messages between the couple.

Below are some of the texts allegedly exchanged between Madrid and Jackson over several months.

**Aug. 21, 2024**

- Madrid: "You left and she's walking around the backyard and side yard"
- Madrid: "I guess start locking her up before you leave"
- Jackson: "Dang it okay"
- Madrid: "She was digging under the garden bed and she took it into the coop"
- Madrid: "She's been stealing from my garden and eating"

**July 15, 2024**

- Madrid: "The rest of the day don't feed her"
- Madrid: "Don't need her until she's hungry and ask for food or steals it"
- Madrid: "I told you don't feed her but you say I'm abusive"
- Madrid: "Don't feed her until she's dying for food and starving"
- Jackson: "I know it's stupid and okay"

**April 5, 2024**

- Madrid: "Her bathroom is 7:45 and 5 pm why is she in there all day"
- Jackson: "I know she was cleaning the cat litter pans but I didn't see her n the toilet cs I chased her out"

**Feb. 25, 2024**

A search warrant indicates screen shots of surveillance footage was sent from Madrid to Jackson alleging the teen was using the bathroom outside of her allotted time.

**Feb. 7, 2024**

- Jackson: "Well I googled it having her stand in one spot wearing her ear muffs and eye mask is abuse so we need to figure out something."
- Madrid: "I'm working on it."
- Madrid: "Maybe you should help me instead of complain."
- Jackson: "Well I said awhile back I didn't agree"

**Jan. 30, 2024**

- Madrid: "Did you feed her"
- Madrid: "Ice cream then ramen"
- Madrid: "No water if she ask"
- Jackson: "Not yet I'm on the toilet then my coffee"

After five months of investigating, officers arrested Jackson and Madrid on Feb. 18. Both were charged with 14 counts including abuse of a child and conspiracy to commit abuse of a child.

Then, on Feb. 26, just before 8 a.m., officers were called to a home in the 1000 block of North Auburn Avenue for a shooting. They found Madrid shot and rushed her to the hospital where she later died.

The Farmington Police Department shared a video of a person of interest in the deadly shooting on its .

Investigators believe this person left the area before officers got there. Police say he was last headed east on Navajo Street toward Lincoln Avenue on a bike.
