The man told a dispatcher that he didn't know who was dead, and he was getting the information from a relative.
\"She said that somebody died of an overdose (inaudible) ago and somebody put it in a 55 gallon drum,\" the caller said.
Police said when officers arrived at the house, they were met at the door by William Slaton, 35, and requested to check his yard for a drum and body.
According to court documents, Slaton said they could check and closed the door. Officers heard someone go out the back door followed by a loud noised. Officers said they saw Slaton throw a metal drum over the fence.
\"Upon opening the metal drum, we discovered a nude white female,\" court documents states.
Slaton admitted to being at the house with the deceased female. \"He advised after using narcotics that he woke and went into the basement where he found the victim hanging in the basement,\" documents state. \"Mr. Slaton stated that he then used a sharp object to cut off all of the victim's fingers. He then used a razor knife to cut off all of the victims tattoos on her body. He put the items in a sealed bowl and hid the fingers and skin in the basement.\"
Slaton reportedly told police that after the woman died, he allowed her body to lay in the basement of the home for a few days before he placed her body into the drum. Officers said upon executing a search warrant, they discovered a plastic bowl which contained human fingers and sections of tattooed skin.
He is being held on $210,000 bond, and has yet to enter a formal plea to the charges against him.
