SPRINGFIELD, Ore. — Springfield police say a 50-year-old man was charged with criminal mistreatment after his elderly mother was found in a home that was filled with garbage and raw sewage.

The woman was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening issues related to poorly monitored diabetes.

Antone was taken into custody and booked into the Lane County Jail.
