Billie Jean Dunn, the mother of 13-year-old Hailey, who went missing three months ago, was picked up by officials at her West Texas home Thursday night, according to The Associated Press.
She reportedly faces misdemeanor charges of hindering apprehension and prosecution, possession of dangerous drugs and obstruction of justice.
Dunn, 33, reported her daughter missing Dec. 28 and her live-in boyfriend, Shawn Adkins, previously was named a person of interest in the case.
The two deny having anything to do with the middle school cheerleader's mysterious disappearance.
According to the AP, Dunn told police that she last saw Hailey two days before she reported her missing. Adkins reportedly told police that Hailey told him a day earlier she was heading to visit her father and then was going to spend the night with a friend -- neither of which she did.
Investigators reportedly found the girl's toothbrush, hairbrush, iPod and jacket in her bedroom.
The family's community of Colorado City -- just west of Dallas -- has stepped up efforts to help find the girl, posting more that 100 billboards with her picture and information.
Hailey is described as white, with hazel eyes and brown hair. She's about 5-feet-1 and weighs 120 pounds. There is a $15,000 reward for information that leads to her being found.
