Children removed from roach-filled home
GREER, S.C. (AP) - 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. (Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
