According to TPD, officers arrested Stacy Deann Basden, 46, after discovering that she and her three children were living in a shed in the backyard surrounded by dead and dying animals because nearly 60 dogs and cats had taken over the house. There were also animals being kept in the cramped shed with the children.
There was no food or working utilities available in the shed or home, police say.
Responding officers had to wear gas masks to access the area and home, and results of air tests of the home showed ammonia levels several times higher than established danger levels, the report states.
A Tulsa corporal said it is one of the worst living conditions he has seen in 15 years
In additional to child neglect charges and animal cruelty charges, Basden was also arrested on complaints of larceny, no driver’s license, improper license plate display and no proof of insurance, according to police.
She is being held on more than $150,000 bond.

| I hope she gets mental health counseling so she can eventually be reunited with her kids, but she should not be allowed to have more animals |
