DALLAS (AP) - Police say they've arrested a Dallas man after he showed them a human foot he said he'd dug up from a grave.

A Dallas police statement says Daniel Wayne Stanley walked up to officers near a Jewish cemetery in the city's Pleasant Grove section early Friday and told them he had a foot in his bag. The 18-year-old then showed them the foot, saying he'd dug it up from a nearby cemetery because he wanted the foot of a "Jew girl." Stanley also had a small hatchet in his bag.

Police arrested Stanley on a theft from a human corpse/grave charge after taking them to the grave he dug. He's booked into the Dallas County jail without bond. Jail officials had no attorney listed for Stanley.

The corpse's identity hasn't yet been released.
