The father of the girl who police say went on a two week crime spree with her 18-year-old boyfriend says claims that she was abused at home are "completely bogus."
Shawn Phillips, the father of 13-year-old Cheyenne Phillips, said Tuesday that anyone who knows his family knows they did not abuse Cheyenne.
Meanwhile, the girl's mother has been arrested. Police say Sherry Peters is accused of taking Cheyenne from her father's house when she did not have the custodial rights to do that. That's according to an arrest warrant provided by Grayson County Detention Center Deputy Bo Thorpe.
Peters was arrested Monday.
Cheyenne Phillips was found with her boyfriend, 18 year old Dalton Hayes, on Saturday night in a stolen truck in Florida.
Deputy Thorpe says Peters has declined all media interview requests and is scheduled to meet with an attorney Thursday. A county official says she's scheduled for a hearing Thursday morning.
Dalton Hayes is in jail awaiting extradition to Kentucky, Cheyenne Phillips was taken to a safe house where arrangements will be made for her return home.
