EL CAJON, Calif. — An El Cajon woman who was arrested last week for deserting the Army a decade ago has returned home after being administratively discharged from duty.

Attorney Jeremiah Sullivan says Giselle Flynn, 37, arrived from Fort Sill, Okla., on Friday night and was reunited with her two children.

Flynn deserted her post at Fort Gordon, Ga., in 1999 to care for her young son, who was sick, and her daughter. She tried twice to turn herself in at Navy bases but the Army neglected to pick her up.

She was arrested Feb. 14 by El Cajon police then taken to Fort Sill.

Sullivan says negotiations with Army officers went well, although he says the Army never explained why a warrant for her arrest was issued after so long.
