Father of missing college student Anjelica Hadsell arrested

NORFOLK, Va. -- The father of a missing Longwood University student has been arrested, but police have not indicated whether the charges are related to the search for his daughter, reports the Virginian-Pilot.

Wesley Hadsell, whose daughter Anjelica "AJ" Hadsell has been missing since March 2, had his first court appearance Monday. He is charged with obstructing justice, burglary and possession of ammunition by a felon.

Norfolk, Va., police spent hours on March 21 combing a swampy, wooded area for the missing 18-year-old, the Virginian-Pilot reports.

Anjelica Hadsell was last seen at her parents' home in Norfolk, where she was spending her spring break vacation from Longwood University, about 140 miles away in Virginia.

Before she disappeared she sent several unusual text messages to her parents, police said. And her debit and credit cards were later found cut up, reports CBS affiliate WTVR.

Wesley Hadsell is being held without bond. His next court appearance is April 29.
