Tulsa County Sheriff's Office
An Oklahoma woman was arrested Thursday and charged with allegedly mutilating a dead body at a funeral home in Tulsa.
Shaynna Sims, 26, was charged with "illegal dissection of a human body" after the incident at the Moore Funeral Home–Eastlawn Chapel last week.
"This is the first time I've heard of anyone doing something of this nature," Tulsa Police Department spokesman Sgt. Shane Tuell told KAIT8.
According to the police report obtained by the Tulsa World, the deceased woman's family and the funeral home called police after discovering she had been cut, her makeup smeared and her face slashed from the hairline to the nose.
Police arrested Sims at her home after allegedly discovering a knife with the woman's hair on it, as well as a box cutter, in her apartment, the newspaper reported.
"It begs the question as to why would someone do this to another individual and to the family," Tuell told KAIT8.
Fox 23 reported the woman had previously dated Sims' boyfriend.
According to jail records, Sims, who also uses the surname Smith, is being held in custody by the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office.
Court records show she pleaded guilty to assault and battery charges in April, receiving a sentence of 18 months' probation.
