Police have arrested a woman after a dismembered body and apparent cooked body parts were reportedly found at her Kentucky home.
Torilena May Fields, 32, was taken into custody in Robertson County Tuesday night and later charged with abuse of a corpse, obstructing governmental operations and tampering with physical evidence, Kentucky State Police said in a news release. Officers obtained a warrant to search the property following a Wednesday phone call concerning a deceased female.
Fields, from the small town of Mount Olivet, is being held at the Bourbon County Detention Center. Her arraignment has been scheduled for Monday afternoon.
USA TODAY was unable to determine the attorney representing Fields as of Thursday afternoon.
Fields was allegedly covered in blood during arrest
A citation stated that police found a "dismembered body" body at the home Tuesday lying near a "blood-stained mattress" and also found blood on the back porch, according to local station WLWT.
A witness said Field's was "casting spells on them and was being confrontational," the citation reported. Troopers also noticed drag marks in the grass from the property, WLWT reported.
Troopers removed Fields from the home while covered in blood after refusing to come out, station WXIX reported.
Arms, legs and head removed from victim's body
The citation detailed that the arms, legs and head of the victim were all removed from the body, according to WXIX.
Troopers also discovered "multiple body parts and organs" inside of a folded mattress. They also found what appeared to be cooked human body parts inside a pot that was still warm in the kitchen's oven, WXIX reported.
Officials have not released the identity of the dismembered body but WLWT reported that the corpse belonged to Field's mother.
An autopsy is expected to release Friday, state police confirmed to USA TODAY.
