( CNN ) -- Pennsylvania police have arrested a woman who authorities say fled Washington state 11 years ago with her two sons against a court order instructing her to return them to their father , police said . Jill Haugen was arrested at her home in Milton , Pennsylvania , on Tuesday , days after she had contacted police saying she did n't want to take care of her sons any longer , Milton Police Chief Craig Lutcher told CNN . Police in Spokane , Washington , said a felony warrant for first-degree custodial interference was issued for her in 1998 . The Northumberland County , Pennsylvania , district attorney 's office said she has been charged with being a fugitive from justice and is awaiting an extradition hearing . It was not immediately clear if she had retained legal representation . Police made two trips to her house after her Saturday phone call , Lutcher said , and the sons , now ages 15 and 16 , were placed into foster care after the second visit , on Sunday . A caseworker discovered through an Internet search that there was a warrant from Washington state for Haugen 's arrest and told police , Lutcher said . Police said Haugen had provided them with two different names on two different occasions . Haugen , who was known as Jill Connington when she was married to Bill Connington , did not win primary custody of the couple 's children in 1998 after the two had divorced , police in Spokane said . `` They were with her on a visitation and she never brought them back , '' Spokane police Lt. Dave McGovern said . When she disappeared , according to police , the felony warrant for first-degree custodial interference was issued for her , police said . Bill Connington told CNN that he was a `` little overwhelmed with everything . '' `` I 've had thoughts of possibly never seeing [ his sons ] again but never gave up hope I would , '' he said . He said he was speaking with caseworkers about getting the teenagers to Washington . As she was escorted by police , Haugen told media she was a domestic abuse survivor and that her two sons were sexual abuse survivors . It was not immediately clear against whom she was leveling the sexual abuse accusations . `` We 've been in this state since 2000 , '' she said . `` We are legal residents . '' McGovern said a sexual abuse allegation was filed in 1995 on behalf of the children , but authorities were not able to substantiate anything from it . Asked about the abuse , Connington denied any wrongdoing and said he had offered during the custody hearings to do whatever he needed to prove his innocence . CNN 's Shirley Zilberstein contributed to this report .
