Only one child - a 12-year-old - was present when officers arrived, and Shauna Gilbert told police the 12-year-old child had been thrown to the ground by Glenn Gilbert. Officers saw scratches on the child's arm and redness around the child's neck, the report shows. 

Shauna Gilbert also told officers that Glenn Gilbert had put the child in a choke hold and began choking the child, police said.

Once inside the home, officers saw that there was no running water, no electricity, trash and dirty laundry covered the floors, dog feces was on the floors, food was rotting in the kitchen, old food was covered in flies inside the refrigerator and bugs were flying and crawling all inside the house, the officers reported.
