A Woman in Colorado May Know Something about the Polygamist Sect

Police in Colorado Spring and the Texas rangers arrested a Colorado woman on local charges of pretending to be a girl locked in a basement. She called the police and allegedly pretended to be a 16-year-old girl victim of an abuse. The Texan Rangers were in Colorado, continuing their investigations about the polygamist FLDS compound in Texas.

Rozita Swinton, 33, was arrested for allegedly making false reports at 6:45 p.m. and afterwards was transported to the El Paso County Criminal Justice Center, according to the news release.

"This arrest stemmed from an incident that occurred in Colorado Springs in February of this year," Colorado Springs Police said in a statement.

"The Texas Rangers were in Colorado Springs yesterday as part of their investigation involving the compound in Texas. They left and have not filed any charges on Rozita Swinton as of this time," he added.

According to the police, the arrest is related to the incident in Colorado Springs which happened in February. Back then, Flora Jessop, a former member of the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints, told authorities she had been receiving calls from a young woman who claimed to be Sarah, the abused girl from the polygamist retreat, who called for help and was the first person who announced the police that something was wrong at the Texas ranch.

Following the advices of the Texas Rangers, the woman began recording all those calls that she received. This thing helped authorities to find Rozita Swinton and led them to Colorado Springs.
