A Florida woman was arrested for elder abuse after she took her father to the hospital, where he was found to be covered in human waste and maggots, police say.

Pamela Reynolds, 54, told police that she was her elderly father's caregiver when they questioned her at the hospital as he was being treated for several serious health concerns. According to an arrest report reviewed by Law&Crime, police said that Reynolds' father, whose age was not provided, suffered from several health problems, including diabetes and heart failure.

When police spoke to hospital employees who treated the man, they said he was suffering from necrosis, was covered in feces, and was "severely malnourished." Reynolds told police she had not moved her father from his recliner for two months.
