An Augusta woman was arrested Thursday after she was found living with her family in poor conditions.
Whitney Davis, 28, was charged with two counts of deprivation of a minor. Davis told Richmond County Sheriff deputies she and her husband had been living in tents in the front yard of the residence, on the 700 block of Bennock Mill Road, with their two children, ages 6 and 3.
Davis said their home had been without power for at least five days. According to an incident report, deputies found the house in deplorable living conditions and unfit for human habitation.
Deputies found old food and dirty dishes cluttered in the kitchen. According to the report, the house was in complete disarray with dirty clothes and other plates and dishes of old food around the house. The house also had a foul odor.
Her husband, Daryl Davis, was listed as a co-defendant and a suspect, but has not been arrested.
