Authorities in Garland County have captured a woman who escaped police custody March 19 with the help of her husband.

Garland County deputies and the Arkansas State Police captured Mandy Cavanaugh and her husband, Sean Dickson, at the 100 block of Frona Lane in Hot Springs on Friday afternoon, Garland County sheriff's office spokesman Scott Hinojosa said in a statement.

Hinojosa said investigators received credible information and pinged the suspects' phone to determine that Cavanaugh and Dickson were at that address.

Cavanaugh slipped out of handcuffs and escaped as she was being transported to the Garland County jail on March 19. Police said she then purportedly jumped into the bed of Dickson's pickup truck and left the scene.
