"Galen Marcantel, 54, was arrested Thursday and charged with suspicion of cruelty to persons with infirmities and five counts of aggravated animal cruelty, news outlets reported.

Plaquemine police and the Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office were performing a wellness check on the woman after neighbors said they hadn't seen her in several months.

Authorities found the woman in bed covered in urine and feces from cats and dogs. The home was in disarray and showed signs of animal hoarding, investigators said.

"We decided we couldn’t leave her there," said Iberville Parish Sheriff Brett Stassi. “It was horrific.”

The victim used a wheelchair and was left alone in the home for hours, authorities said. Investigators found more cat food in the home than human food. Stassi said 14 cats and two dogs were removed from the home.

“The house is completely destroyed," Stassi said. “You couldn’t breathe in that place.”

The victim was hospitalized. Her condition was unclear. Authorities said Marcantel lived with the victim for several months and isn't related to her. Authorities believe Marcantel was taking advantage of the victim's finances. Stassi said Marcantel barred the victim's family from visiting and filed a restraining order against them."

He's a nasty horrible wormy man, that much is clear.
I have 2 cats and they don't urinate of defecate on beds, ever. If they are cross with their litter box they go in a hidden corner. secretly and decently. (Though I did have a cat that would poop on the pillow of guests if he thought they had stayed too long-but that was a statement-I can respect that) But on a bed? Hmmm.
And that there was more cat food than human food tells me he is the cat collector.
That restraining order to prevent her family from seeing this abuse is chilling though. He's done this before if he hustled that up in a few months.
There is no mention of bed sores or malnutrition in the victim, so he had a long-term financial abuse racket going on.
Anyway, good job by those neighbors!!

Scurvy bastard.
Lock him in the home then cleanse it with fire.

It's always sad when we have to bathe a patient several times in the ER, do to infection control and smell, before we can let them on a floor.. it's seems like some of them haven't bathed in months or they did regularly bathe in the sewer.
