Responding officers discovered the naked body of an elderly woman lying in feces on the front porch outside her home.
According to the arrest warrant obtained by Voice For Us, as officers entered the residence, they found the home in deplorable conditions and infested with cockroaches.
According to the report, “The kitchen was infested with bugs and the refrigerator was blocked by garbage and animal cages.”
The bathroom wasn’t accessible because of the amount of garbage that was piled inside of it.
Police discovered a total of sixteen dead animals inside and outside the home, as well as animal cages.
Police reported that six snakes, five cats, four dogs, and one tarantula were found living in “inhumane and unsanitary” conditions.
One white rabbit was found decomposed. Seven snakes and four bearded dragons who were found deceased, appeared to have died from “prolonged neglect .”
