June and Jacob were arrested on Thursday (10/19) after were called to a gas smell in the upstairs apartment, above Ryan’s Pub on East Main Street.
The officer discovered a residence strewn with garbage, dog feces, urine, dog vomit, along with cat feces throughout the apartment. He also discovered the residence had no working smoke alarm and only one safe exit from the dwelling. He immediately called the Wolcott Code Enforcement Officer.
