Patrolling officers noticed a black car turn and swerve onto the curve right in front of a Pure Gas and Deli on Lake Bradford Road around 3:10 a.m., avoiding hitting a child.<\/p>\n
Court documents say that upon arrival, officers found three kids, one in only a pair of jeans and the other two dressed in only soiled diapers.<\/p>\n
Officers located the children\u2019s residences and found three more unclothed children lying in one bed upon arrival, according to court documents.<\/p>\n
The children were found unsupervised without an adult present. Officers were informed that Jakes had left to go to the store two hours prior.<\/p>\n
Officers tried to locate clothes, only to find shoes and parts of clothing because the rest were wet and smelled of mildew, according to court documents.<\/p>\n
Responding officers found the state of the residence to be unlivable, with feces, urine and half-eaten, spoiled food on the floor and no edible food in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n
