After being in contact with this person for two weeks. i discovered that she was scamming me and others. i was lucky enough to get her arrested, but what i want to know is if i can freeze her assets to get my money back.
she was in missouri at the time she was scamming all these people, so i don't know exactly what to do and whose system i need to go through since i am in texas and she is in missouri.

You can file a lawsuit against her in her home county, and if you win, you can then take action as provided by state laws to enforce the judgment. Without the judgment.... you have no legal right to her property.

One thing that might help you.... it is possible that upon her conviction, the criminal court could order her to pay restitution to her victims. Contact the prosecuting attorney to see if that can be arranged.
