According to Muskogee Police, a city worker reported seeing a dog carrying a human arm. After arriving on scene, officers were able to confirm it was a decomposed arm off of a body.

K-9 officers searched the area and found a "heavily decomposed body" in the woods nearby.

Police don't have information about the person's age, race or sex.

"You just have to be vigilant and keep an eye on your neighbors. And watch out for your neighbors and do the best you can," Washington said.
