AMARILLO, TX (KFDA) -

Tina Stone has been arrested by authorities in Amarillo after being on the lam for nearly a decade because a temporary warrant for her arrest expired, despite authorities knowing of her whereabouts.

Stone, 54, walked away from a Tulsa halfway house on Dec. 29, 1997. She moved to Amarillo and although she was arrested several times in Texas, the Inspector General’s office could not extradite her without a warrant.

She was serving a 7-year sentence for second-degree forgery and possession of stolen property.
