SAPULPA, Okla. — Flock cameras helped authorities track down a Green Country woman suspected in the death of her newborn son.

Sapulpa police say the flock hit came in Sunday afternoon at 1:15 and said that Kala Matney was at the intersection of Main and Lines Avenue.

The medical examiner determined that the cause of death was prenatal methamphetamine exposure.

She was arrested for murder.
