A Florida hospital worker is behind bars after he was caught sucking on an elderly patient's toes... And yes, you read that right.

Fort Myers resident Frantz Beldoran, 23, was charged on Wednesday with battery of a person 65 years of age or older in connection with the incident, which occurred at the Gulf Coast Hospital on Monday.

Frantz was originally hired to be a "sitter", and to keep his eyes on a patient who was a flight risk. But on Monday night, the patient's roommate said she woke up multiple times in the night after feeling something on her toes. The victim told investigators she woke up to a wet sensation on her toes -- and when she looked down, she saw Beldorin kneeling by her bed, with his mouth around her toes.

But Beldorin said that it's all a big misunderstanding...

"I dropped my phone under the bed. and as I’m trying to get my phone and she kicks," Beldorin told reporters. “She’s afraid and we’re in the dark. It’s a dark room with a dark male at the foot of her bed. I can understand."
