(CNN) The mother of two missing children has been arrested by police officers in Hawaii on a warrant issued by Madison County, Idaho, according to a statement from law enforcement.

Lori Vallow, 46, was arrested on multiple charges, including on suspicion of two felony counts of desertion and nonsupport of dependent children, Kauai police said.

She is being held by police on a $5 million bail, according to the statement.

Joshua "JJ" Vallow, 7, and his sister, Tylee Ryan, 17, were last heard from in September. About two months later, Vallow and her husband, Chad Daybell, fled their Rexburg, Idaho, home when authorities began looking for the children, police previously said.

CNN has previously reached out to Vallow and Daybell's attorney, Sean Bartholick, but has not heard back. Another attempt to reach Bartholick on Thursday was not immediately successful.
