BENTONVILLE -- A Henderson, Nev., woman was arrested Friday after she fled from police.
Sharon Newman, 43, was arrested in connection with aggravated assault on a family or household member, fleeing, first-degree terroristic threatening, reckless driving and an expired vehicle license. She was being held in the Benton County Jail with no bond set Friday.
