 "Anyone that knows us knows better. My family is pretty well respected in the community," Shawn Phillips, 38, told The Associated Press. 
 
 The abuse allegations were brought to light after a jailhouse interview with Cheyenne Phillips' boyfriend, 18-year-old Dalton Hayes. Hayes told The News Herald of Panama City (http://bit.ly/1CKBaWL) that they just wanted to escape Phillips' family, who were beating her, and planned to make it to Miami. Officials and others said Tuesday that they did not know of any allegations of abuse. 
 
 "All I had to do was tell her to go home and none of this would've happened, but it's hard to tell someone getting beat on to go home," Hayes said. "But, if I could go back, I'd be paying for bus rides instead of stealing trucks." 
 
 The abuse allegations are "something we'll talk about when they get back to Kentucky," Grayson County Sheriff Norman Chaffins told The Associated Press. He said he was unaware of any previous accusations of abuse. 
 
 The girl's mother was in jail Tuesday on a charge of custodial interference. She has denied interview requests from media outlets, according to the jail. 
 
 The pair's travels took them to South Carolina and Georgia and included a night in a frigid barn, Hayes said. The pair were arrested late Saturday in Panama City Beach after authorities found them sleeping in a stolen vehicle. 
 
 Hayes agreed in court Monday to return to Kentucky to face charges. He is expected to be charged in Kentucky with burglary, theft, criminal trespassing and criminal mischief. Phillips will face charges in juvenile court. 
 
 "It ain't like we were killing cops and robbing stores," unlike the notorious outlaws Bonnie and Clyde, to whom the couple were compared in some media reports, Hayes said. "We just went on a few high-speed chases." 
 
 Tammy Martin, Hayes' mother, said she did not know of any abuse allegations. "I have no idea about any of that. ... She was here pretty much every day," she told The Associated Press in a phone interview. 
 
 "I never got any hints of that whatsoever. Met both her mother and father, and they both seem like, you know, nice people." 
 
 On Saturday afternoon, a Panama City Beach resident alerted police after recognizing Phillips as she left a Target. She was wearing the same pink and brown boots in pictures posted online. 
 
 "I questioned it and kept looking at the picture, but it kind of made sense," Steve Colford said. "If I was teenager on the run, I'd come to Panama City Beach." 
 
 Florida's Department of Children & Families took Phillips to a safe house to make arrangements to return home. 
 
 Martin said the couple had been dating for about three months. She said the girl portrayed herself as being 19. By the time her son realized she was only 13, "he was already done in love with her," Martin said. 
 
 He faces burglary and theft charges in his home county, stemming from an arrest late last year. He was planning to be at the local judicial center 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. ||||| PANAMA CITY — A Kentucky teenager charged with taking his 13-year-old girlfriend on a car-snatching spree said he regretted not just paying for a bus ticket instead. 
 
 Dalton Hayes, 18, was being held without bond Monday in the Bay County Jail as a fugitive from justice. Authorities arrested him and his 13-year-old girlfriend, Cheyenne Phillips, late Saturday night after an alleged crime spree of stolen vehicles and pilfered checks. Hayes awaited extradition to Leitchfield, Ky., to face a litany of charges after a series of near run-ins with law enforcement, according to jail officials. 
 
 During a jailhouse interview with The News Herald on Monday, Hayes said the couple set out initially to get away from his girlfriend’s family — not as an attempt to emulate one of the most famous fugitive couples in American history, Bonnie and Clyde.

 “It ain’t like we were killing cops and robbing stores,” Hayes said of the comparison to Bonnie and Clyde. “We just went on a few high-speed chases.” 
 
 However, the allegedly law-breaking sweethearts received the designation from numerous media outlets as news of their exploits spread nationally. 
 
 The couple’s capture began about 11:30 p.m. Saturday night when authorities descended on a stolen silver 2001 Toyota Tacoma, according to Panama City Beach Police Department records. Hayes and Phillips were sleeping inside the truck, which was parked in front of the Kirkland’s at Pier Park off U.S. 98, police reported. 
 
 Spotted: Earlier that afternoon, local residents spotted the couple shopping at nearby retailers. Steve Colford was one of the first to recognize the young fugitives from stories circulating on the Internet, so he alerted police to their whereabouts. 
 
 Colford still wasn’t positive it was them. The two looked identical to released pictures, but the pink and brown boots Phillips wore in one of the pictures — the exact same as the girl exiting Target at Pier Park — was the tipoff for the Navy dive instructor, he said. 
 
 “I questioned it and kept looking at the picture, but it kind of made sense,” Colford said. “If I was teenager on the run, I’d come to Panama City Beach.” 
 
 Police confirmed Colford’s suspicions and moved into place by about 11:30 p.m. Saturday before springing their trap. Hayes was taken to the Bay County Jail without incident, while Phillips was placed in the custody of the Department of Children and Families to be taken to back to Kentucky. 
 
 During a brief hearing Monday, Hayes signed paperwork clearing the way for his return to Kentucky. 
 
 Hayes speaks out: 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. Hayes said their nearly two weeks on the lam took them to South Carolina, Georgia and included a night of trying to camp out in a frigid barn before heading for warmer climates. 
 
 The plan was to make it to Miami, he said. That’s as far ahead as the two plotted their course. 
 
 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, Kentucky, court records. Phillips was running from an abusive relative, Hayes said. 
 
 “I couldn’t set her out to fend on her own,” he said. 
 
 Twice, the teens were able to evade law officers in Kentucky, officials said. They crashed the first truck they stole and hid in the woods. The two were able to get another vehicle and successfully outmaneuvered law enforcement during their first high-speed pursuit in South Carolina, Hayes said. 
 
 Authorities believe they then headed to Georgia and stole a pickup truck from the driveway of a man’s home, about 30 miles southeast of Atlanta. The homeowner said he kept two handguns inside the vehicle that was stolen, according to police reports.

 However, Hayes said the two never intended to hurt anyone. 
 
 Hayes said he was unaware of Phillips’ young age until days before they set out, and, though he mostly attributed her will to leave as the initiation of the crime spree, Hayes said he wouldn’t change most parts of that plan. 
 
 “All I had to do was tell her to go home and none of this would’ve happened, but it’s hard to tell someone getting beat on to go home,” Hayes said. “I’d do that the same. … But, if I could go back, I’d be paying for bus rides instead of stealing trucks.” 
 
 Dad: Girl, 13, accused in crime spree was never abused

 Mother of teen girl suspected in crime spree arrested 
 
 LEITCHFIELD, Ky. (AP) — The mother of one of the two teenage sweethearts from Kentucky who are suspected in a multistate crime spree of stolen vehicles and pilfered checks has been arrested. 
 
 Peters is accused of taking 13-year-old Cheyenne Phillips from her father's house when she did not have the custodial rights to do that, according to an arrest warrant provided by Grayson County Detention Center Chief 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. 
 
 Thorpe says Peters has declined media interview requests and is scheduled to meet with an attorney Thursday. 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.
– The 18-year-old Kentucky teen accused of taking off on a multi-state crime spree with his 13-year-old girlfriend says they bolted from home because she was being physically abused. Dalton Hayes tells the Panama City News Herald that Cheyenne Phillips was being beaten, though he didn't offer more details. “All I had to do was tell her to go home and none of this would’ve happened, but it’s hard to tell someone getting beat on to go home,” he says. The AP talks to the girl's father, Shawn Phillips, who calls the allegations "completely bogus." The sheriff in Kentucky's Grayson County says he was unaware of any such accusations but would investigate when the youths are finally transported back to their home state. The pair allegedly stole multiple vehicles and eluded police before finally getting caught in Florida, earning the nickname of "Bonnie and Clyde" in media accounts. “It ain’t like we were killing cops and robbing stores,” Hayes tells the Florida newspaper. “We just went on a few high-speed chases.” His main regret: Not buying bus tickets instead. In another development back home in Kentucky, the girl's mother, Sherry Peters, was arrested yesterday on charges of custodial interference, reports WHAS11. It's not yet clear how, or if, the charges relate to the teens' spree, but she is accused of picking up her daughter from Shawn Phillips' home on Jan. 3 without permission. That's the day the teens were reported missing.
