Florida police on Sunday arrested two teenagers accused of stealing cars, cashing phony checks, and destroying property during a two-week crime spree across the South.
The two Kentucky teens, 13-year-old Cheyenne Phillips and 18-year-old Dalton Hayes, went on the run earlier this month when Hayes was due in court to face burglary charges. Panama City Beach police found the two sleeping in a 2001 Toyota Tundra, which was reported stolen in Georgia, and arrested them shortly after midnight Sunday morning.
