[Howdy there]

DENVER -- A Colorado Springs woman was arrested on charges of false reporting to authorities and is being investigated for her alleged involvement in the call that tipped authorities off to possible abuse at a Texas polygamist compound.

Police said they arrested 33-year-old Rozita Swinton at her home on Wednesday.

The Texas Rangers were in Colorado Springs Wednesday as part of their investigation involving the compound in Texas. They left and have not filed any charges on Swinton, said Colorado Springs police spokesman Lt. Skip Arms.

Arms said he could not discuss any aspects of the Texas case. The affidavit for the Colorado Springs case has been sealed so details cannot be released, he said.

Call7 Investigators reported this is not be the first time Swinton has been arrested on charges of making false reports to authorities. According to KRDO, the charge against Swinton was made in connection to calls received by police in February indicating she was 13 years old and trapped in a basement.

Trust the gubermint, dontcha know....

Give them power to raid compounds and take away hundreds of children from their families... blech.

[UCANSEE2]

Sorry, didn’t mean you personally.

I assume you read it, since you posted the original article to begin with.

I should have been clearer.

Thanks for posting the thread.

But no charges were filed, she is innocent L0L

What a goat rope

[Cementjungle]

Do people here really doubt that there was child abuse going on in this cult?

I have no idea.... at least not yet.

[traviskicks]

Plus law enforcement to save face.

Investigators reported this is not be the first time Swinton has been arrested on charges of making false reports to authorities.

So this 33 year old was possibly posing as the 13 that was allegedly trapped in a basement?

If so, this is quite funny.

[Mr. Silverback]

It’s going to be fun watching a bunch of Freepers pretend that because this moron told a lie all was well at the ranch, no child abuse, no brain washing, every teenage girl secretly wants to marry some fifty year old guy and share him with several other wives, yada, yada, yada...

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

There's PLENTY of doubt, IMO -- this by virtue of the complete lack of evidence or charges.

Or in your world, is the magnitude of the charge sufficient to raid people's homes and confiscate their children?

[glock rocks]

They left and have not filed any charges on Swinton

The police in CO arrested her. The Texas Rangers left and have not filed any charges. Yah, that twisted my tiny mind.

[top 2 toe red]

Yeah, too late for them to be impregnated by men three times their age, so sad.

[dragnet2]

Read the article. The headline suckered you in, but you better see if the fish is still on the hook.

What specifically do you mean?

[Hildy]

You think this woman, Carolyn Jessop , is a liar?

[dragnet2]

Was she arrested or not?

Yes, according to the article, she was arrested in CO.

[mylife]

Have a ball.
I’m waiting for evidence vice accusations

[BGHater]

Classic, she is a Obama Supporter. [http://www.peakdems.org/obama_cd5_del.asp] She's supposed to be at the Colorado Convention in May.

[top 2 toe red]

Yeah, too late for them to be impregnated by men three times their age, so sad.

[claudiustg]

Oh, a minority female! Nevermind...

[Mr. Silverback]

This won’t change anything. The government will still go forward with the prosecution “for the children”. Otherwise it will cost the state of Texas $Millions.

Yeah, you're right. Since this one person made a false report, everything at that ranch was happy and wonderful, a vertiable utopia.

[top 2 toe red]

Anderson Cooper just reported they have 5 girls 16 and under either pregnant or they have already given birth.

The girls have already told them that they are taught from early childhood that having children is the greatest honor they can give to God.

[Mr. Silverback]

Give them power to raid compounds and take away hundreds of children from their families... blech.

Trusting the FLDS is every bit as stupid as trusting the government.
