Greer, SC - Two children have been removed from a South Carolina home that deputies say they found infested with roaches, and their parents have been charged with neglect.
Multiple media outlets report Friday that deputies were responding to a domestic disturbance call at a mobile home in Greer when they saw roaches crawling everywhere, including inside the refrigerator.
Amy Coleman told deputies her boyfriend had beaten her with a baseball bat. Coleman told police she fought Jeffrey Booker off with a sword and ran to a neighbor's house with one of her two sons.
Both children were placed in emergency custody and taken to a shelter.
Booker has been charged with domestic violence, and he and Coleman are both facing neglect charges. It was not immediately clear if they had attorneys.
