Her daughter, 7, was living in an apartment Dayton police said was in deplorable shape. McDevitt was arrested March 22 after a woman called for an ambulance to report her mother was suffering a seizure at her apartment on Ritchie Street.

Medics found an apartment filled with cockroaches, feces and maggots. Sharon McDevitt, the mother, is disabled and cannot care for herself, police said.
