COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Texas authorities say they’re still investigating a Colorado woman in connection with bogus phone calls that may have triggered a raid on a Texas polygamist group.
That despite a claim by the attorney for Rozita Swinton that Texas authorities don’t believe she had any “criminal involvement” in the calls. Swinton’s attorney, David Foley, said Wednesday that she won’t face charges.
But Jerry Strickland, a spokesman for the Texas attorney general, says the inquiry isn’t over.
Investigators have called Swinton a “person of interest” in connection with calls to a hot line alleging abuse at the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints’ ranch in West Texas.
