A woman is charged with interfering with a dead body after authorities say she helped move a deceased overdose victim in the parking lot of a Bloomington hotel and then left the scene without seeking help.

Maria Delos Angeles Contreras, 33, is charged with one count of interference with a dead body, a gross misdemeanor.

The charge stems from an incident on July 26 in which police say Contreras and an unidentified male were seen dragging an unconscious woman on a chair through the Doubletree Hotel lobby at 7800 Normandale Boulevard.

Police were called just after 5 p.m. when a hotel employee reported seeing Contreras and the male dragging a woman in a chair by her feet. The employee followed the two through the lobby and into the parking lot, where they continued to drag the woman before walking away and leaving her behind.
