A woman who had been on the Top 10 most wanted list in Bradley County, Tenn., for two years has been arrested in Las Vegas, Sheriff Eric Watson says.

Jessica Hattie LaCasse, 21, was placed in custody by the U.S. Marshals Service after the Bradley County Sheriff's Office fugitive team tracked her to the Nevada gambling resort, Watson said in a news release.

LaCasse was charged with aggravated child abuse in 2013 and was released on a $100,000 bond, he said.

She failed to appear in court and fled the county.

"I really wanted Ms. LaCasse in jail," Watson said in the release.
"She has used social media to flaunt her location. Well, U.S. Marshals took the information we had and put her in handcuffs."
