	5 More Arrested from West Texas Polygamist Sect Associated Press July 29, 2008 http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iIdMpRHjN4hpNKBhfYyAsR4DDo4QD9272VS00 AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A state law enforcement official says five indicted members of a polygamist sect in West Texas have turned themselves in to authorities. The official, who spoke on a condition of anonymity, was not authorized to talk on the record until after a news conference by Attorney General Greg Abbott later Monday. The five men were indicted last week with Warren Jeffs, the already-jailed leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Jeffs and four others were charged in Texas with felony sexual assault of a child. The fifth was charged with failing to report child abuse. One of the five was also charged with bigamy. The official says the men turned themselves in in Schleicher (SHLY-ker) County, where the FLDS runs the Yearning For Zion Ranch.
