Arrest warrant issued for woman whose bogus tip allegedly triggered FLDS raid
The Salt Lake Tribune ^ | July 15, 2008

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- The Colorado woman alleged to have sparked the raid on the polygamous FLDS ranch in Texas with bogus tips may be on the run.

On Monday, an arrest warrant was issued for Rozita Swinton after she failed to show up for a court hearing on charges of violating her probation for one of two other false-reporting cases against her, court administrator Lori McKager told Salt Lake City's 2News.

Swinton is accused of violating her probation stemming from her 2007 guilty plea for telling police she was a 16-year-old girl who was suicidal after giving birth.

Authorities have linked her to a phone number used to call a Texas crisis center thought to have triggered an April raid where more than 460 children were removed from the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' Yearning for Zion ranch in Eldorado, Texas.

Swinton, 33, faces jail time if found guilty of violating probation.

“for telling police she was a 16-year-old girl who was suicidal after giving birth”

The woman has a history of telling lies of this sort. One is left to wonder if TX law enforcement actually knew the truth about this but thought they could get away with persecuting an entire community. Thank goodness the TX supremes put a stop to their horrifically abusive actions.

Surely the pro-raid, pro-roundup FReepers will not try to say it was OK for this woman to lie about this. Please tell me it ain’t so.

So.. if the cops raid the wrong crack house, haven’t they still raided a crack house?

But what if there were children in the house and it wasn’t a crack house at all? Is this America or not?

Why is it that every thread I see you in you’re baiting for responses? I’d post the “Aw Jeez” guy but that’d take more time than I’m willing to put into it.

Texas authorities head for the tall grass.

But it was. It was a "cult house" and the girls were being made to marry nasty drooling old perverted cultist holy-joes.

Is this America or not?

Yes. A place where kids are protected from cults.

“Why is it that every thread I see you in you’re baiting for responses? “

I feel strongly about this issue - as strongly as I did about Gary Condit knowing something about the death of Chandra Levy.

This site has always been about freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom to say what we feel about controversial subjects. It used to be a conservative site where folks came to complain about government intrusion in our lives, etc.

You should have seen my posts when they were starving and dehydrating Terri Schiavo!! And I will never forget what they did to Terri Schiavo. Never!

I will never forget the roasting of those innocent children at Waco. Never!

And I will never stop criticizing the out of control government actions against these pathetic FLDS folks. Never!

Thank you for making my point so clearly. Innocent until proven guilty mean anything to you? The TX supremes, thankfully, still believe in the U.S. Constitution.

Is McCain in favor of the raid & roundup of innocent FLDS children?

I thought the law had taken her in weeks ago.

Shows what I know.

And it shows some stupid L.E. actions.

“A place where kids are protected from cults.”

The abuse those poor kids suffered at the hands of the state of Texas will probably give them PTSD for the rest of their lives. Do I need to show you the sniper, the SWAT team, and the tank-looking vehicle again?

That’s all fine and well.

“Surely the pro-raid, pro-roundup FReepers will not try to say it was OK for this woman to lie about this. Please tell me it ain’t so.”

That however is an ongoing theme from you which is “baiting for a response”. Instead of logically making a point and debating your stance, or just being pissed off about the whole thing in general you’re throwing daggers at your potential audience.

I’ve got a drug house down the street from me that the local law enforcement won’t touch. I guess I’m a pro-raid, pro-roundup Freeper too.

Not everyone will share all your views all the time. It’s called life and that free speech conundrum you touted so proudly weighs heavily for both sides of every argument; something your posts seem to forget.

Cute. However - could you please post some reference? Especially to validate the part about “nasty drooling old and perverted”?

Also, I suppose there might be a few “holy-joes” and holy-janes” here at FR, who don't think that being holy is a bad thing.
