Two teenage sweethearts suspected in a crime spree of stolen

vehicles and pilfered checks across the South have been taken

into custody in Florida, Kentucky authorities said Sunday.

Grayson County Sheriff officials say in a statement that

18-year-old Dalton Hayes and his 13-year-old girlfriend,

Cheyenne Phillips, were arrested without incident about 12:10

a.m. Sunday in Panama City Beach. The two had eluded police

in multiple states while raising concern about their increasingly

bold behavior.

Authorities say U.S. Marshal\'s Service and local law

enforcement in Panama City Beach discovered Hayes and

Phillips asleep in a 2001 Toyota Tundra that was stolen in Henry

County, Ga. The vehicle was surrounded by law enforcement

and both Hayes and Phillips were taken into custody. Authorities

plan to extradite Hayes and Phillips back to Kentucky where

they are expected to face felony charges.

Hayes and Phillips began their run from the law and their

families earlier this month when they vanished from their small

hometown in western Kentucky. Authorities believe their travels

took them to South Carolina and Georgia.

Hayes\' mother, Tammy Martin, had urged her son and his

companion to surrender and \"face the consequences.\"

Martin said the couple had been dating for about three months.

She said the girl portrayed herself as being 19, and the family,

including Hayes, believed her.

come out with cigarettes and stuff, so I didn\'t have any reason

not to believe she wasn\'t 19,\" Martin said. \"Because normally

you can\'t buy cigarettes when you\'re 13 years old.

By the time her son realized she was a mere 13, \"he was already

done in love with her,\" Martin said.

When he hit the road, Hayes was running away from trouble

back home. He faces burglary and theft charges in his home

county, stemming from an arrest late last year, according to

Grayson County court records.

He was planning to be at the local judicial center on Jan. 5 to

find out if a grand jury had indicted him on the charges, his

mother said. His case did not come up, but by that time the teens

were gone.

Norman Chaffins, sheriff in Grayson County, Kentucky, where

the pair disappeared 14 days ago, said the couple\'s behavior had

become \"increasingly brazen and dangerous.\"

Kentucky, the sheriff said. They crashed the first truck they stole

and hid in the woods. Then they later stole another truck nearby,

Chaffins said.

At one point, the two were spotted at a Wal-Mart in South

Carolina, where the teens are thought to have passed two stolen

checks, said Manning, South Carolina, Police Chief Blair

Shaffer. They were seen in a vehicle that apparently was stolen

from Kentucky, he said.

Authorities believe they then headed to Georgia and stole a

pickup truck from the driveway of a man\'s home in Henry

County, about 30 miles southeast of Atlanta. The homeowner

awoke Wednesday to find his vehicle was gone, along with two

handguns he kept inside, Henry County police Lt. Joey Smith

said.

Hours later, another truck the couple are suspected of having

stolen in another state was found nearby. It had been crashed

through a fence and abandoned behind a vacant building on

neighboring property, Smith said.

Martin said her son texted her a few days after their

disappearance to say the couple were in Mississippi. They were

spotted soon after that in Kentucky, she said.
