OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) -- A woman was arrested for child neglect after a deceased baby was found in the sink of her hotel room.

On Thursday, OKCPD officers responded to a Red Roof Inn where they found a deceased baby wrapped in a towel on the bed of one of the rooms.

A woman inside the room, Rebecca Greene, told paramedics that she felt something coming out of her and didn’t know she pregnant.

Greene allegedly pulled the baby out by his legs. She said the baby was moving when he came out.

Greene told the paramedics she filled the sink up with water and placed the baby in it while she tied off and cut the umbilical cord.

She said while bathing him, she saw him move his arm one last time.

Greene was arrested on charges of child neglect and drug possession.

Oklahoma City police are looking for a man who they believed may be a key witness in the case.
