Hopkinsville Police cited a Bryan Street woman after officials found that she was keeping a child in unacceptable conditions.
Officers were called to an apartment on Bryan Street for a conflict between the renter and the landlord. While officer Robert Sibal was on the scene he was told about the conditions inside the apartment. Officer Sibal says when he asked the renter, 37 year old Dawn Boganwright, to see the apartment he was met by an overwhelming smell of ammonia and mold and mildew. He says the floor was covered in trash, cigarettes, and animal feces. Neighbors told police that they had heard a child coughing all night. The Department of Community Based Services was called and determined that the living conditions were unacceptable. Officials say DCBS is relocating the child.
Boganwright who was the child's caretaker was charged with endangering the welfare of a minor.
