( CNN ) -- A manhunt for a 33-year-old sought in the disappearance of an Arkansas real estate agent ended with his arrest Monday , police say . The Little Rock Police Department arrested Arron Lewis , of Jacksonville , Arkansas , after an arrest warrant issued Sunday said he was charged with kidnapping . The warrant provided no other details , but Lt. Carl Minden with the Pulaski County Sheriff 's Office said Lewis was a suspect in the disappearance of Beverly Carter . Carter went to show a home in the small community of Scott on Thursday . She then vanished . Pulaski County Sheriff Doc Holladay told reporters Monday morning that his investigators were questioning Lewis . When asked whether the suspect was talking , Holladay said : `` We will have to see how cooperative he is as the day progresses . '' Police have n't said how they linked Lewis to Carter or how they tracked him down , but they say Lewis left a hospital Sunday without notifying police while he was a person of interest in her disappearance . Suspect was in wreck . Lewis , who was on parole , was in a traffic accident Sunday , and police arrived to find his automobile on top of a concrete culvert , according to an accident report from the sheriff 's office . Lewis told police that a vehicle , which he could n't describe , had run him off the road . But a witness told police that he was behind Lewis before the accident , and `` Lewis was traveling at a high rate of speed prior to the crash , '' the report says . Another witness told police that `` the Lewis vehicle was going 'so fast ' prior to the curve and she further stated that she observed the Lewis vehicle 'fishtail ' around the curve , going into the ditch , '' according to the report . Paramedics took Lewis to Baptist Health Medical Center in Little Rock . A deputy followed the ambulance to the hospital to issue Lewis a citation for careless driving as well as not wearing his seat belt , because there was evidence Lewis hit the windshield during the crash , the report says . At that time , Lewis was a person of interest in the Carter investigation , but he was not under arrest , Minden said . `` While at the hospital and undergoing tests , Mr. Lewis left the hospital . He was not under the guard of law enforcement at that time due to not having any criminal charges at that point , '' the lieutenant said in a statement . The warrant charging him with kidnapping was issued later Sunday , he said . Dozens of volunteers -- as many as 200 , according to authorities -- spent their Sunday searching for the missing woman in the Little Rock area . They resumed their search Monday in two areas in the southern part of the county , the sheriff said . `` At this point we do n't know where she is , '' Holladay said . The search has focused on an area of flat farmland and swamp around the Arkansas River , Minden said . The Sheriff 's Office has asked all owners of large tracts of land in the Scott area to search their properties . Official : Agent 's cell phone used . The mysterious disappearance of the 49-year-old resonated among fellow real estate agents , who posted their fears on a Facebook page set up for sharing information about her case . Carter 's last phone call to her husband came Thursday afternoon , telling him the address where she would be . When hours went by with no further word from her , Carl Carter says he `` knew something was wrong . '' Before calling authorities , Carl Carter went to the address of the home Beverly Carter was showing and saw her brown Cadillac parked there , the sheriff 's office said . Noticing the property was open , the husband entered and searched for his wife without success , according to the Sheriff 's Office . There has been activity on her cell phone since she disappeared , Minden said . Later he explained to HLN 's Nancy Grace that included text messages , but he declined to elaborate on the nature of the texts . Beverly Carter , who according to her employer 's website has been married for 34 years and has four grandchildren , was last seen wearing a black sleeveless shirt and red capris . `` I feel like I 'm in a fog , or a horrible nightmare from which I ca n't awaken , '' Beverly Carter 's son , also named Carl , wrote on a Facebook post . `` She needs us , and we must continue to pray ( and ) brainstorm ways to find her . '' The elder Carl Carter told CNN affiliate KARK-TV that `` I would just like to have my wife back . '' The social media hashtag # FindBeverly has gained steam , and the Facebook page about her disappearance was followed by more than 28,000 people as of Monday afternoon . Police say Lewis ' Monday arrest is n't his first run-in with police . In addition to any charges he may face in Carter 's disappearance , he has a criminal history in northwest Arkansas that includes felony theft of property , obstruction of government operations , failure to appear and unlawful removal of a theft device , Minden said in a statement . He 's also faced charges from the Kansas City police and the Utah Department of Corrections , he said . CNN 's John Branch and Joe Sutton contributed to this report .
