Woman Wanted For Multiple Charges In Cottonwood Is Arrested In Payson

A woman, who was featured as a “Catch 22” suspect by Yavapai Silent Witness back in February, has been arrested in Payson. Authorities say 33-year-old Sarah Easterday-Shortridge, was wanted on child abuse, adult abuse, failure to appear and drug charges in Cottonwood. She was questioned by Payson Police early Monday morning. She lied to officers, then assaulted three officers, resisted arrest and was finally taken into custody. Officers found drugs and drug paraphernalia inside her home.
