Overview
- Flagler County Fire Rescue requested a welfare check at a W-Section home, prompting deputies to contact the state child-welfare agency as Major Case Unit detectives assumed the investigation.
- Deputies documented a pervasive urine odor, spoiled food, mold near HVAC vents, and cockroach droppings on walls, ceilings, and electrical outlets.
- An infant was found in a Pack 'n Play infested with cockroaches, and the child was placed in the care of relatives.
- The elderly man, recently discharged from a hospital, could not walk or care for himself and was transported for further treatment.
- Tashaye Brown told investigators she knew about the infestation and attempted DIY spraying because she said professional extermination was unaffordable.
