A Donelson woman has been arrested on false reporting charges after police said she fabricated a story about the shooting death of her baby, who doesn't exist.

Metro Nashville police say Glenna Brook Pinkerton, 32, told detectives her infant daughter was fatally shot in the head by Pinkerton's ex-boyfriend and was buried in a shallow grave in Two Rivers Park near Donelson in March 2018.

Pinkerton took detectives to the park and showed them where she allegedly buried her daughter, a news release says.

Last week, Metro Nashville Police Department officers combed the area with a cadaver dog and an investigator from the Medical Examiner's Office, but turned up nothing.

During a follow-up interview with Pinkerton, the release says she admitted to concocting the story and said she had never given birth.

When authorities questioned the woman and asked why she lied, she said, "Attention, I guess.”

Pinkerton was released from jail after posting a $3,000 bond after her arrest Tuesday, court records show. She is scheduled to appear before a judge on April 17.
