After more than 2 weeks on the run, police have finally caught up with the Grayson County teens accused in a multi-state crime spree. The search for Dalton Hayes and Cheyenne Phillips garnered national attention, and they’ve been called the modern day Bonnie and Clyde. But, their run from the law has now ended in Florida.
Just after midnight Sunday morning, the two teenage sweethearts suspected in a crime spree of stolen vehicles and checks across several states were taken into custody.

18-year-old Dalton Hayes and his 13-year-old girlfriend, Cheyenne Phillips, were arrested in Panama City Beach after police found them sleeping in a truck they reportedly stole in Georgia. The vehicle was surrounded by US Marshals overnight and both Hayes and Phillips were taken into custody.
The 13-year old’s mother says in a phone interview that she didn’t know much about the two’s relationship.
“I don’t approve of it. I just reunited with my daughter after 10 years we started talking before Christmas, so I didn’t know much about the relationship it was just a bunch of lies in it,” said Cheyenne’s mother, Sherry Peters.
Hayes and Phillips began their run from the law and their families earlier this month when they vanished from their small hometown in Grayson County.
Phillips’ mother says her Daughter’s behavior came as a complete shock to the family.
“She was fascinated over him and just in love. This is not something I would think Cheyenne would do,” she said.
When Hayes hit the road, police say he was running away from trouble at home. He faces burglary and theft charges out of Grayson County.
According to jail records, Hayes is being held on a charge of custodial interference. He is scheduled for a first court appearance in Florida Monday morning.
