Whiteley said the couple who lived at the home, Aaron and Teyrsa Medley, gave officers verbal consent to enter the home.

Once police entered the house, Whiteley said they were hit with a “pungent odor that made their stomachs churn.”

According to a news release, each room was covered with trash and garbage bags filled with animal and human feces and urine.

The police chief said they found dead cockroaches inside the freezer and refrigerator, and a maggot larva inside a pot on the stove.

Agents with the county’s juvenile office, children’s division, and social services removed five children from the home.
