WARREN, Ohio - A Warren municipal court judge has placed a city couple on probation for three years after police say they found them living with a three-year-old girl in an apartment filled with feces, bugs, and trash last June.

Twenty-five-year-old Zackary Woomer and 27-year-old Adrianna Bellar each pleaded “guilty” to child endangering during a court hearing on Tuesday. 

According to an entry on the court docket, Children's Services has visited the couple's apartment several times and cleanliness issues have been resolved.

The two were arrested in June after police went to their South St. SE apartment after receiving a tip that the child was living among mice and feces on the walls and floor.

Officers didn’t even have to step inside to know something was wrong.

 “From outside of the door I could smell a foul odor of feces and observed several bugs crawling from the cracks of the door,” one officer wrote in the report.

The narrative of the police report describes what officers found after Bellar opened the door and let them inside:

“I first observed trash all over the ground, counters, and shelves. There was old rotten spoiled food included in the open trash laying around the apartment. As I walked deeper into the apartment, I further observed feces matted into the carpet and floor. The feces were everywhere, and I could not avoid stepping on it.

Police say they spotted Woomer wearing only underwear, standing barefoot in feces.

Stepping over trash, an officer reported the following on the way to the child’s room:

When shining my flashlight, I observed bugs flying in my face and crawling on the walls. The bathroom I walked past had more feces on the tile around the toilet.

The officer says the child and an adult male were lying on a bare mattress with trash scattered around the room.

Police say Bellar blamed her neighbors for not being able to take out the trash.
