A Louisville woman was arrested Sunday after police say a 4-month-old was found in a home amid cockroaches and dog feces.
Louisville Metro Police say they were sent to a home there after EMS says a man overdosed on illegal drugs.
When they arrived EMS was already performing first aid on the man, and his wife, 34-year-old April Colling, admitted that he was a drug user.
But the sights and smells that greeted police when they entered the home led to Colling's arrest.
Police say they found a "severe" amount of clutter and trash, both inside and outside of the home. They found a 4-month-old girl in a child seat sitting atop a filthy mattress. The child had "very dirty" fingernails and toenails and clutter was on top of the child's head.
The strong stench of dog feces was smelled throughout out the house, and police could see dog feces on the floor, along with flies. There was also a severe cockroach infestation.
"The cockroaches were everywhere inside the residence along the walls and the entire appliances [sic]," police wrote. "Cockroach feces could be seen all along the framing of the inside of the residence throughout."
There was no baby food or formula inside the fridge or in the kitchen -- but police say the refrigerator "was covered with hundreds of roaches all around the outside of it dead and alive." There was also a trash in the kitchen with gnats flying around it.
Police say they feared for the infant's medical safety.
Colling was arrested and charged with first-degree wanton endangerment and endangering the welfare of a minor. Louisville Metro Police took custody of the child through an emergency custody order, after discovering that Child Protective Services had already initiated an investigation into the child's living circumstances.
The condition of Colling's Penis is not available
