CNN) -- The father of missing child Haleigh Cummings and his ex-wife have been arrested on drug-trafficking charges in Florida, authorities said.
Ronald Cummings, 26, faces three counts of trafficking prescription medication -- including Oxycodone and Hydrocodone. He is being held in jail on $500,000 bond, the Putnam County Sheriff's Office said.
Misty Croslin, 18, faces six counts of trafficking prescription medication and is jailed on $950,000 bond.
The former couple was arrested Wednesday along with three others after allegedly selling about $3,900 worth of drugs to undercover officers, sheriff's officials said.
Cummings, Croslin and the others made brief court appearances Thursday morning, said Lt. Johnny Greenwood. But the court clerk's office said it had not yet received information about whether they had been assigned attorneys.
An undercover investigation was launched after authorities received information about suspected drug dealing, Greenwood said. He added that this probe was separate from the investigation into Haleigh's disappearance.
"Even though these are totally separate, they are parallel cases, and there's no doubt in my mind these cases will cross some day," Greenwood said. "I hope that somewhere through this, the investigators in the Haleigh case will find the information they need."

This is sad. Maybe her abduction was due to some type of drug sale gone wrong after all.
All the choices are grim here. She might have been abducted. Could she have sold or given away? Might she have been murdered by her parents?
I’ve been following this case since last February, as it is not too far from here. You can’t make this stuff up - some of the sleaziest, trashiest mess you’ll ever hear of. Poor Haleigh just seems to have disappeared into thin air; I feel certain that both her father and Misti know exactly what happened to her.

These people are trash, pure and simple!
those 2 involved with drugs? I am shocked beyond belief....not.
You should post the picture of their ‘wedding’ - where he is wearing a wife-beater and it takes place in what looks like a run-down parking lot. This is after the romantic proposal at Chili’s only weeks after the little girl disappeared.
I believe they were divorced a couple months ago, but apparently they’re still hanging out together!
God help that poor little girl, if she’s not already with Him.
