Another Arrest Made At Texas Polygamist Compound

ELDORADO, Texas (AP) ― A second member of a polygamist sect has been arrested in connection with a search of a Texas compound.

Leroy Johnson Steed is charged with tampering with physical evidence. Authorities say that Steed was arrested Monday night and was being held in a jail near the compound.

The 41-year-old Steed is the second member of the Yearning for Zion Ranch to be arrested since authorities raided the religious retreat last week after a young girl called them and reported abuse.

Levi Barlow Jeffs was arrested Sunday. He is charged with interfering with duties of a public servant.
