Dunn met with a judge Friday. She was charged with hindering apprehension and prosecution possession of dangerous drugs, as well as making a false report to officers. Dunn's bond was set at $6,500, and she bonded out of jail at 1:15 PM Friday.
Billie Dunn was arrested Thursday night after Howard County Judge John Hyde authorized a search warrant of her home in connection with a criminal investigation. The Mitchell County District Attorney says the search involved Dunn's boyfriend Shawn Adkins. It's unclear if the search was related to Hailey Dunn.
When Billie answered the door, she lied and said Adkins wasn't there. Dunn was taken into custody. Scurry County also served a search warrant Thursday at Adkins grandmother's home, and they removed several items from that home.
Billie Dunn and Shawn Adkins have been named as "persons of interest" in the disappearance of Hailey. Hailey has been missing since December 27, 2010.
