The sheriff’s office said the man was seriously injured when he fell about 30 feet down the silo off County Road 22 around 3:30 a.m. on May 5. When rescue crews arrived, they talked to five teens who told them that three other teens were inside the silo. The group had gained access by crawling through a broken gate at the entrance of the silo, the sheriff’s office said at the time.
Around 6 a.m., the two uninjured people, who were staying with the victim, were rescued from inside the silo. Rescue crews reached the injured man around 6:30 a.m. and removed him from the silo around 8:30 a.m., the sheriff’s office said. He was flown to the hospital with serious injuries.
The sheriff’s office said Monday that two 18-year-olds, including the man who was seriously injured, where cited for second-degree criminal trespassing, which is a petty offense. Six other people, all under 18, will face second-degree criminal trespass charges, the sheriff’s office said.
