A 23-year-old Florida hospital worker was arrested by the police for sucking on an elderly patient’s toes.

Authorities arrested Frantz Beldorin, the 23-year-old man, after a female patient at the Gulf Coast Hospital in Fort Myers, Florida, woke up at around 11 pm and felt someone touching her foot.

The incident happened at around 11 pm on Monday, February 24, 2020.

The woman initially thought that she was being touched by a nurse that was checking on her, but Lee County Sheriff records show it happened 2 more times.

In the third incident, the patient told deputies that she felt something wet between her toes.

When she looked over, she saw 23-year-old Beldrin bent over her foot.

The 23-year-old worked at Gulf Coast Hospital as a sitter that was tasked to watch patients throughout the night.

The patient told the police that she ripped her foot away from the 23-year-old who then went back to the chair he had been sitting in previously.

The victim reported the incident to a nurse and hospital security who called the sheriff’s office.

The authorities arrested Beldorin afterward and took him to the Lee County Jail.

The 23-year-old hospital worker is facing charges of battery on a person 65 years or older.

 

When asked by the police, Beldorin was questioned by the police and he said that he was reaching to get his phone when the patient noticed him.

During an interview with Fox 4 News, he said:

I’m reaching to get my phone, it dropped so when she got up I guess she got startled and it’s dark. A day that I thought I was going to make it out of peacefully, a day that I had planned, it didn’t turn out the way that I expected it.

He pointed out that there were 2 other patients in the room, to which all doors were wide open.

He added:

I can get that from someone else, I don’t have to get that from her.

The hospital worker denied the claims of the old woman and said that the entire thing was a huge misunderstanding.

Talking about when he got arrested, he said:

When the security came and got me, I was like, ‘what’s going on?’, and they’re like, ‘just come with me’. It makes me look crazy or creepy and I’m not! Like I’m not that type of dude. If I offended her in any way, I apologise.

The sitter’s mother stuck up for him, arguing that her 23-year-old son has worked at the hospital for 4 years and had no problem while working there.

Beldorin was released on a $1500 dollar bond.

He has been terminated from the hospital and has been asked to wear an ankle bracely.
