FLAGSTAFF — Evangelist and convicted tax evader Tony Alamo waived his right to fight extradition to Arkansas after his arrest on charges that he took minors across state lines for sexual purposes.

Alamo appeared briefly Friday in U.S. District Court in Flagstaff. It will be at least a week before he is moved to Arkansas, a spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's office there said.

Alamo was arrested by the FBI while leaving a Flagstaff hotel Thursday on charges of violating the Mann Act, usually used in interstate prostitution cases. Federal prosecutors sought his arrest after interviewing six girls taken into state custody during a raid of his Arkansas compound last week.
