DANVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Police in Danville brought more than an angry couple with them to the jail after making two arrests.

Police Chief Tony Gray says 11 police and jail employees - along with the arrestees, Thomas and Lisa McManus - and a police cruiser had to be decontaminated Wednesday morning after officers discovered the house had a bed bug infestation.

Officers went to the house shared by the couple late Tuesday night for reports of domestic violence. After arresting the couple and charging them with fourth-degree assault, they were taken to Boyle County Detention Center.

Gray told The Advocate-Messenger that's when officers found out about the infestation. Gray says the Danville Fire Department handled the decontamination before jailers placed the couple in cells.

If you think you have come in contact with bedbugs, disrobe including shoes, and put everything in a dryer set on high heat. Then take a hot bath.

These re the typical people law enforcement and the court system deals with on a daily basis. It's only a problem for them when they are in custody too. I've seen lice so bad I wanted to vomit.
