On Thursday, Mauldin Police received an anonymous tip about the well-being of children at 299 E. Butler Road, Lot #12 in Mauldin.

When detectives arrived at the residence they found trash 2-3 feet deep, covering the trailer from end-to-end. Detectives said spoiled food was in the refrigerator and the counters were covered with maggots. Feces was on the walls and in the trash.

Living in the residence were a family of five: Thomas and Tiffany Hudgins and their three children, aged, 3, 7 and 10.

Police arrested the parents and charged them with three counts of Unlawful Conduct Towards a Child. Other charges are pending.

The Hudgins are being held in the Greenville County Detention Center on a temporary bond.

The children have been placed with other family members by the Greenville County Department of Social Services.
