Charges against 17-year-old Toni Bellamy, of Ettington Avenue, Park End, Middlesbrough, were dropped on Friday at a court in Montego Bay and she was ordered to be sent back to the UK, a spokesman for HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) said.
But her mother, Andrea Henry, 39, also of Ettington Avenue, was sentenced to six months imprisonment for attempting to smuggle cocaine.
Henry's partner Wayne Walshaw, 32, of Saltburn, Cleveland, was sentenced to 12 months for the same charge.
The trio were arrested at Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay on Sunday on suspicion of swallowing packages of cocaine, the spokesman said.
They had been due to board a flight to Manchester.
On Friday night a neighbour of Henry and Ms Bellamy said he expected the teenager would be looked after by relatives on her return to the UK.
Lawrence Kavanagh, 47, who has lived next door to the mother and daughter for five years, said: "She will probably come home and there is her grandparents there and her brother."
He said the teenager's brother Scott, who is thought to be 19 or 20, was looking after his mother's house while she was in Jamaica.
Mr Kavanagh described Toni as a friendly girl. "She is quite pleasant and always says hello," he said. "It will be a terrifying experience for her but I dare say she would cope. But without her mother I can't say."
