Police in Kentucky arrested three people after finding three children and a disabled adult living in what one officer said were the “worst” living conditions they’d ever seen.

Police executed a search warrant at the Harrodsburg home at about 11:30 p.m. last week while conducting a child neglect investigation, WDKY reported. They found three children under the age of 12 and an adult with the mental capacity of a 6th grader. When they entered the home, they were met with a strong smell of feces and ammonia.

“The floor was covered in feces and all surfaces were covered in garbage such as rotten food,” an arrest citation reads. “The refrigerator had a lock hanging from it and contained rotten food and cockroaches and none of the food I observed in the house was safe to eat.”

One of the children told officers they had only had cereal to eat all day, according to WKYT.

The police report said three dogs and five cats also lived in the home, and the feces they found was a mix of human and animal. One occupant said the children were often sick, likely because of the condition of the home.

The home was declared unfit for human habitation.

Police arrested Amy Nichols, 30, charging her with criminal abuse of a child, abuse/neglect of an adult, and cruelty to animal. Robert Ransdell, 38, and Matthew Hardin, 26, were each charged with complicity to those charges.

Media reports did not say how the three people were connected with each other or any of the victims. They also did not say what happened to the victims.
