A Yucca Valley man was arrested, and three children were removed after deputies found an “overwhelming” amount of animal feces and urine inside his home. According to the Sheriff’s Department, deputies were called about noon Wednesday, to make a welfare check in the 58000 block of Carlyle Drive in Yucca Valley. Inside the house were William Pincott, 33, and his three children aged 2, 4, and 8, along with eight dogs and two ferrets. Deputies found “an overwhelming amount of animal feces and urine” inside the home. Deputies determined the children were living in squalor with very little food and several safety issues that posed serious threats to the children’s safety. A Yucca Valley Animal Control Officer took custody of the animals and the children were removed from the home by Children and Family Services. Based on the living conditions inside of the residence, William Pincott was arrested for felony child abuse and neglect and booked into the Morongo Basin Jail with his bail set at $100,000.
