A woman in New York City was arrested by authorities after they found human remains inside her Brooklyn apartment.
The NYPD reported that on Monday a man’s dead corpse was found inside an apartment on Nostrand Avenue. The discovery was made after authorities received a tip-off, leading them to search the apartment and discover the body parts, including a severed head inside a taped refrigerator.

Stines’ neighbor in the building, Germaine Roberts, said, “She was saying, ‘Oh my God I’m going to jail.’ They wouldn’t let her in the apartment.”
Stines has a history of crime and is wanted on several counts of larceny.
It is not immediately clear if Stines has retained an attorney or entered a plea, but according to jail records, her next court appearance is Tuesday.
