Local family removed from filthy house
Landers, Kevin. Ohio News Network, June 21, 2007.
COLUMBUS- Columbus police officers serving an arrest warrant Tuesday discovered a house littered with filth in the process. After arresting Karl Peterson on a felony probation violation, police summoned the health department and animal control officers to the home.
Officers found 12 pit bull terriers in the house, along with at least three other adults and six children. The three women, each with two children, were ordered out of the Hinman Avenue address when the Columbus Health Department declared it unfit for habitation.
According to Franklin County Children Services, five children were sent to live with other relatives. A sixth was returned to the custody of a parent. The agency said there is a household history involving children services, but no open cases.
Animal control removed the dogs from the house. Most of them were puppies. Along with the probation violation, Peterson was also charged with child endangerment.
