AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) -- A man has been arrested accused of giving his mother with dementia feces disguised as chocolate, according to the Richmond County Sheriff's Office.

An incident report states Quami Dewayne Kelly, 20, was arrested Tuesday accused of exploitation of elderly or disabled person.

In the report, it said a deputy was called to a home on Melrose Drive around 7 p.m. Tuesday and found the woman's caregiver hysterical. The woman's caregiver said Quami Kelly kissed his mother goodbye and put what she thought was chocolate in his mother's mouth. After it started to smell, the caregiver learned it was actually feces and started to get it out of the woman's mouth, according to an incident report.

The caregiver said over the last few months, the woman had a foul odor to her breath but she couldn't figure out what was causing it. The woman she takes care of has a diminished mental state and suffers from dementia. According to the incident report, her caregiver said she has to keep a close watch on her at all times otherwise she will wander. The woman also cannot talk.

The report states deputies confronted Quami on scene and questioned him. He was later arrested and detained for further investigation.
