COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—Colorado Springs police say Texas Rangers traveled to the city because of a local woman’s possible connection to an investigation of a Texas polygamist compound.
Lt. Skip Arms says 33-year-old Rozita Swinton was arrested in Colorado Springs Wednesday on a misdemeanor charge of false reporting to authorities. The incident occurred in February.
Arms says the Texas Rangers notified officials in Colorado Springs they were coming to the city as part of an investigation into the polygamist sect and into Swinton.
Arms says the Rangers left without filing charges against Swinton.
No other details about the Rangers’ interest in Swinton are available.
Records show Swinton was arrested in 2005 for making a false report and obstructing police.
