Calvinitri White was falsely arrested for child neglect after police said she lived in a roach-infested apartment with her three children but charges were dismissed after she proved she had been trying for months to get the landlord to address the issue.

The hed itself is a shitshow that should have been taken out back and shot.

After Black woman urged landlord for pest control, roaches lead to her arrest from unrelated 911 call

Not sure what I’d do with a 1-44-4 in this case
