One of the Colorado Springs delegates for the Colorado State Convention is the same person now under investigation by Texas Rangers who staged a raid on a polygamist compound.

Investigators are trying to determine if Rozita Swinton, who lives here in Colorado Springs, was the caller whose plea for help triggered the raid. That caller claimed to be an abused 16-year-old spiritual wife of a man on the Texas ranch.

Swinton is supposed to attend that convention that is taking place at the World Arena.

It’s not the first time, though, Swinton has been in trouble with the law.

In 2005, she was under arrest and under police interrogation in Castle Rock. Swinton was charged with false reporting. "I didn't lie to you,” Swinton told police.

Cops said she called a Castle Rock adoption agency, claiming to be a suicidal 16-year-old with a gun and a baby. "Rozita, is there a baby that we need to be concerned about?” asked the detective. "Is there a gun in your car or anywhere else we need to be concerned about?"

Swinton answered no to both questions and admitted her story wasn’t true. She pled guilty to false reporting in the case.

The 33-year-old is now answering to Springs police, charged again with the same crime after allegedly calling 911, claiming she was injured and locked in a basement.
