A man who was seen "acting weird" and carrying cleaning supplies is accused of cutting off his mother's head before fleeing.
A Texas man used a hacksaw to cut off his mother's head before fleeing and leading police on a chase into Oklahoma last week before they arrested him, authorities said.
Isaac Israel Warriner, 22, was being held Friday in a Denton County, Texas, jail on charges including the abuse of a corpse.
He hasn't been charged with killing his mother, Sarah Warriner, 65, and investigators will consult with the district attorney's office and medical examiners to determine if additional charges will be filed, Denton city police spokeswoman Khristen Jones said.
Police in Denton, which is about 55 kilometres northwest of Dallas, were called to an apartment complex May 5 by a neighbour who said Isaac Warriner "was acting weird" and carrying around cleaning supplies, according to an affidavit.
