Fugitive life of US polygamist leader ends in Las Vegas

After three months on the FBI’s Most Wanted List and two years on the run, the fugitive life of the US leader of a polygamist religious sect ended with a routine traffic stop.

Warren Steed Jeffs, 50, leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, was wanted in Utah and Arizona on charges of arranging two marriages between underage girls and older men. He was in a Cadillac Escalade that was pulled over on Monday night by the Nevada Highway Patrol.
