LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Warren Steed Jeffs, the fugitive leader of a polygamist Mormon sect and one of the FBI's 10 most wanted, was arrested in a traffic stop outside Las Vegas, the Nevada Highway Patrol said on Tuesday.

Nevada Highway Patrol Lt. Steve Cabrales said Jeffs was apprehended after being pulled over by a trooper on Monday night.

Jeffs, 50, the leader of the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints, is wanted for the alleged sexual misconduct in Arizona. He is also wanted as an accomplice to rape in Utah.

Jeffs, whose group is estimated to have 10,000 followers, allegedly arranged marriages between older men and underage girls.

Now... since we have been so sensitive about what constitutes bigotry or not, I will clarify -

I have nothing against the Mormon religion. This guy took the teachings of Mormonism and perverted them to satisfy his own thirst for power and needs. He married underage women to much older men (pedophilia) and this is not indicative of the majority of Mormons in the least.

Warren Jeffs, according to several news sources, had an estimated 70 wives and 250 kids. His "wives" soaked the welfare system in Arizona, Utah and even Texas claiming to be single mothers raising babies.

This guy not only broke the law by commiting acts of pedophilia, but add bigamy, cheating the government and evading arrest.

I wonder if anyone got the reward money.
