Deputies in Florida arrested a father after they allegedly found his 2-year-old son wondering alone on the street wearing a soiled diaper.

Concerned neighbors along Collins Lane in Palm Coast called the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office around 9 a.m. Sunday when they saw the boy walking in the middle of the street “with no guardian in sight” and cars stopping in the road to avoid hitting him, a probable cause arrest affidavit said. When neighbors approached the boy, he pointed to where he lived.

A neighbor saw the door was wide open and went inside to find the boy’s father, identified as 44-year-old Ross Edward Judy, sleeping inside, the affidavit said. Judy woke up and came outside to retrieve his son, who was uninjured. Neighbors noted the boy had been outside alone for at least 30 minutes.

When Judy saw cops arrive, he went inside and shut the door. Police noticed the boy had a “very soiled” diaper.

The outside of the home was in “disarray” and covered in “trash, bottles, rusty cans, rusty tools, electrical wiring, and other miscellaneous hazardous items,” the affidavit said. There also was a chain saw on the ground at the front door.

Judy, who allegedly reeked of alcohol, allowed the deputies to search the inside of the home. Feces, trash and alcoholic beverage containers covered the floors and countertops, cops wrote.

“The bathrooms were unusable due to the amount of trash, feces, general filth, alcoholic beverage containers, bugs swimming in toilet water, and the sink was piled high with several inches of cigarette ash to the point that the sink was no longer visual,” the affidavit said.
