JACKSONVILLE (CBSMiami/AP) -- A woman is facing murder charges after the decomposing body of her boyfriend was found by police on a porch at her home.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says 41-year-old Tammy Shereese Wright-Conner was arrested Thursday after the body's discovery.

Authorities say the body was that of 48-year-old Ronald Trotter.

Police Lt. Steve Gallaher told the Florida Times-Union that Trotter went to Wright-Conner's house after an argument with his wife on May 25th.

Trotter's body was found on the rickety porch June 10 after neighbors noticed a stench.

Police say the porch had windows sealed with plastic and sheets taped to the walls.
