Ashlee Buzzard, the mother of missing 9-year-old Melodee Buzzard, has been arrested on charges unrelated to the child’s disappearance.

Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s officials took Buzzard into custody on Friday at her Lompoc, California home.

The sheriff’s office said in a press release that her arrest on a felony charge of false imprisonment is unrelated to their missing person investigation.

Officials say detectives recently learned that Buzzard had prevented a victim from leaving a location against their will. They added that no other information about that incident is being released at this time.

The search continues for her daughter Melodee who was reported missing on October 14 when the Lompoc Unified School District reported her prolonged absence.
