GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Authorities in Greenville said an Upstate mother was arrested this week after she was accused of child neglect.

The Greenville County Sheriff's Office said 30-year-old Crystal Anders, of Greenville, is expected to be charged with five counts of unlawful neglect of a child. Deputies said several drug-related charges are also pending against her.

Investigators said they went to Anders’ home on Tuesday to assist a former occupant of the home who needed help from the sheriff's office to retrieve belongings he had left behind.

Once officers arrived, they said they saw marijuana and drug paraphernalia in the living room. Investigators then obtained a search warrant to look around the home.

During their search, deputies said they went to a second-floor bedroom where Anders’ five sons stay. Deputies said the bedroom contained mattresses that were lying on the floor next to feces.

In addition, deputies said the home has holes in the walls, a door propped up against a wall and a broken stair leading from the first floor to the second floor.

Investigators also said firearms were kept in the home in a place that was easily accessible to the children.

The children, ages 5 through 12, were not home at the time of the search, authorities said. They are now in the custody of the Department of Social Services.

Anders is being held at the Greenville County Detention Center on $111,000 bond.
