YORK, Neb. (AP) - A York County woman has been arrested for desertion after leaving a U.S. Army base on the East Coast.

York County Sheriff Dale Radcliff says 18-year-old Laura Troutman was being held in the county jail until military officials arrive.

Radcliff says Troutman was picked up on a U.S. military warrant for desertion issued in February.

Troutman's case will be handled by a military court. She faces up to five years in prison.
