Son arrested after 90-year-old emaciated woman's shoes had 'grown into her feet'

A Port St. Lucie man was arrested and charged with neglect of an elderly person after his 90-year-old mother was found emaciated and in urine-soaked clothes, an arrest affidavit released on Sunday said.

Robert M. Rozenti, 68, of the 2000 block of Southeast Franciscan Street, was the sole provider for his mother and told police that he was appointed his mother’s power of attorney in 2006, the report said.



Early on Saturday, the victim, Anna Chuboff was transported to Columbia Hospital after falling at the residence. Police were called to the hospital after the paramedics found her “unwashed, wearing clothing soaked in urine, severely underweight and emaciated,” the report said.

Police also noted that the shoes the victim had been wearing had not been removed for a long period of time and had “grown into her feet,” the report said. Her toenails had taken the shape of her shoes, police said in the report.
