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?
Whatever happened to the possible Hussein connection with this lady?
Median iq for an Obama delegate.
“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.
Apparently, she is a Barak Obama supporter. Figures.
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!
spamming for McCain???
“and the girls were being made to marry nasty drooling old perverted cultist holy-joes”
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.
Look into the "cultural heritage" of this cult.
You don't wait to "prove" a fire will spread to the next house.
You simply put it out.
It is if your idea of "holy" is to marry off teen girls to old guys.
You obviouly feel strongly in support of old men marrying little girls - just like Islam.
I am not surprised you didn’t know about this crazy woman. The MSM has been silent ever since they lied to our faces about the FLDS in the first place. Michael Savage has a few choice things to say about this:

Fantastic!!
I will never forget the roasting of those innocent children at Waco. Never!
Fantastic!!!
It is sad you do not care as much for the children of the fldsers.
Forcing young girls into polygamous marriages with not too distant relatives is cool, but don’t you make a beefcake calendar.
Actually only the jury has to presume “innocent until proven guilty”. I can think and say what I want.
“But it was. It was a “cult house” and the girls were being made to marry nasty drooling old perverted cultist holy-joes.”
Really? Wheres the proof? Seems like after several years of investigation and this little fiasco there should be ample proof, IF a crime had actually occurred.
This is America, where people can worship as they wish, and where we are innocent until proven guilty.
“spamming for McCain???”
I did a Google image search for Rozita and it was #3 on the first page.

Did you hit the report button to get it deleted or was it displaying something else?
“You obviouly feel strongly in support of old men marrying little girls - just like Islam.”
Pretty weak argument if you have to pull that out. Theres very little in common between these folks and Islam. 50-60 years ago it was quite common for people to marry at 14 years old.
They’ve been investigated for years and have had their lives ripped apart and there is still no evidence. It resembles Salem far more than Islam.
I feel strongly about the Constitution and how it should apply to everyone. Innocent until proven guilty, you know, stuff like that. I'm funny that way, I guess. Apparently you do not think the Constitution should apply to people you don't like. Thank goodness the TX supremes still defend the Constitution.
Apparently, you haven't been reading many of these threads. When someone accuses me - and those who are horrified by what is happening to the FLDS - of being defenders of pedophilia, of child rape, of polygamy, of child abuse, and every disgusting thing known to man or beast - the person making such an accusation is made to look the fool. Keep it up.
Thank you for your vigilance. People are always free to praise the government, it is unpopular people and actions that have to use our Constitutional rights for protection.
“It resembles Salem far more than Islam.”
Thank you . . . and the witch hunt continues . . .
Thank you for #28.
I read about her intial involvement. But, I thought she was detained weeks ago.
Thanks.
“I can think and say what I want.”
Me, too. Ain’t American grand?
“Thank you . . . and the witch hunt continues . .”
Child rapists deserve to die. The old leader, Jeffreys is in jail where he belongs.
Nobody’s proven anything criminal was taking place despite years of investigation. Heck I’d wager 60% of Freepers wouldn’t stand up to that criteria.
If you want to stop looking like a supporter, you’ll start posting articles about how to save these boys and girls from a life of sexual abuse instead of enabling this kind of enslavement.
She's probably on her way to the Dumbocrat convention where she is supposed to be one of B Hussein Obama's delegates!
She needs to do time in a federal prison and the state of texas needs to part with a HUGE sum of money over this fiasco and breach of the first and fourth amendments. Ideally, the principal actors in the child protective services should be criminally charged and and sued in civil court by the sleaziest lawyers the FLDS can find.
The past 100 years for example, men had an average age at marriage of 25.9 years in 1900. Women in 1900 had an average age at marriage of 22 years.
Currently the average age at marriage in the US is 26.8 years for men, and 25.1 years for women.
Don’t worry about the witch hunt. If they win, they can hang us together.
Speaking for myself, after having been called a rapist, child molester, and a dirty old man who liked to see young girls being forced, all for simply questioning the Constitutionally of the raid, there can't bee too many 'bait posts'. They draw out the fascits.
She could be looking at 10 years in prison when it’s all over.
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.

“I feel strongly about the Constitution and how it should apply to everyone. Innocent until proven guilty, you know, stuff like that.”
Good job. Keep up the great work.
How old was Mary when she gave birth to the Savior of the World? (Just asking.)
Thank you. I am so horrified about what happened to the FLDS kids, the raid and roundup, and CPS breathing down their throats. It just makes me sick. And all based on a false report from a whacked out 33-year-old woman.
You mormonism apologists like to post the query every time this polygamy cult off-shoot of LDS Momronism issue comes up. Would you like to finally explain what the age of Mary The Mother of Our Lord has to do with the possible criminality of this pedophile pushing obsession of yours?
