A Struthers husband and wife were arrested and charged with endangering children after police were called to the home on Elm Street in the city on Thursday. 

Wayne Anderson, 35, and Stephanie Anderson, 31, are both charged with child endangering, and Stephanie was also charged with a deposit of garbage. 

Police were called after receiving a call of a child urinating in the backyard of the home. Officers spoke with the juvenile and asked to speak with the child's parents. 

Officers reported the backyard was filled with trash and debris, and when they approached the house, the back door was open, and officers in the report described the home as in 'deplorable conditions,' and officers reported that the floor was covered in food, trash and dirty dishes.

Mahoning County Children Services was called to the house, and according to the report, and four children were removed after the case worker allegedly told officers that the home was one of the worst she had ever seen.

Stephanie Anderson was arrested but not handcuffed as she is pregnant. Wayne Anderson arrived at the police station and officers asked if he was aware of the 'toxic conditions' at the home. After allegedly confirming, he was arrested and charged with child endangering.

The Andersons were arraigned Friday morning in Struthers Municipal Court and pled not guilty to the charges.

Stephanie Anderson will be in court on Nov. 21 at 10 am in Struthers Municipal Court, represented by Attorney Adam Hunt. Stephanie Anderson will be in court on Nov. 21 at 10:30 a.m.

Four children were removed from the home by Mahoning County Children Services and turned over to a relative.
