COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—A woman linked to telephone calls that may have triggered a raid on a Texas polygamist group is due back in a Colorado Springs court next month after a hearing in an unrelated case was continued.

Thirty-three-year-old Rozita Swinton appeared in a courtroom gallery area Wednesday morning, holding a green blanket on her lap and whistling, as a judge reset her hearing for Dec. 19.

Prosecutors said they had not yet received reports from a psychological evaluation of the woman.

Swinton has been identified as a person of interest in calls to a Texas crisis line that may have sparked an April raid at a compound owned by the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Authorities say the calls were made from a phone number linked to Swinton.
