A Harlingen woman accused of driving a get-away car following a fight between teens has been arrested.

Martha Martinez is charged with aggravated assault.

Harlingen police said Wednesday she drove two girls to the 300 block of West Lincoln on May 26, 2009.

That is when the two girls reportedly beat two other girls, then jumped back in the car so Martinez could drive them away.

Police expect to make more arrests.

"There are still two outstanding warrants for the arrests of a second juvenile and a second adult female," explained Harlingen police Sgt. John Parrish.
