PECONIC, Long Island -- Police in Suffolk County arrested a man on Monday for having children in a house filled with sewage and garbage.
Jeffrey Dobbins, 32, was found hiding in a store room in the home in Peconic, where he was staying with 31-year-old Jennifer Mays, in violation of an order of protection.

When investigators entered the home on Henry's Lane, they found raw sewage flowing out of a toilet on the first floor, a week's worth of household garbage stored in a closet, and black mold growing on the first floor walls.
A building inspector declared the house uninhabitable, and Child Protective services was called due to the fact Mays and her four children were living in the home.
