One of the deputies began to search the immediate area where he found a pond approximately 100 yards from the residence. As he approached the pond he could see water splashing and saw movement from a small child’s head. He immediately knew this wasn’t normal and he believed that was the missing 4-year-old.  Sergeant Chris Russell scooped the girl to safety, rescuing her from the pond.

The 4-year-old was examined by Scott County EMS and released without serious injury.
