Alice Kovach-Suehn, 56, from Apopka, was arrested last Friday and charged with elderly neglect after police say they found the man in her care weighing only 89lbs. Apopka Police Sgt Ed Chittenden said it was one of the worst cases of abuse he's ever witnessed over the course of his 18-year career in law enforcement. According to an arrest report, the senior in Kovach-Suehn's care was discovered covered in filth and severely emaciated. The 96-year-old told officers he was being starved and never allowed to eat anything but meat and ‘dog feces.’ By the time police rescued him, the victim could not move his hands and his knees were locked together. 'He was skin and bones,' Chittenden described to the station WESH-TV. Kovach-Suehn was arrested after she brought the half-starved man in her care to Florida Hospital complaining of digestive issues. The staff there were so struck by his condition they contacted the state Department of Children and Families. Scroll down for video .
