FBI: Fugitive polygamist arrested in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS, Nevada (AP) -- The fugitive leader of a polygamist Mormon sect has been arrested in southern Nevada, the FBI said Tuesday.
Warren Steed Jeffs, 50, was taken into custody after he and two other people were pulled over late Monday by a Nevada Highway Patrol trooper on Interstate 15 just north of Las Vegas, FBI spokesman David Staretz said.
The leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was wanted in Utah and Arizona on suspicion of sexual misconduct for allegedly arranging marriages between underage girls and older men.
Since May, Jeffs has been on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list, with a $100,000 reward offered for information leading to his capture.

Now, I'm not Mormon, and I acknowledge that the sect Mr. Jeffs led is NOT endorsed by the LDS.
Glad this perv got picked up though. Very glad.
