Fugitive polygamist sect leader caught
Bishop Lyle Jeffs, leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was arrested Wednesday night in South Dakota, after almost a year on the lam, according to the FBI. In July 2016, Jeffs, the brother of notorious FLDS leader Warren Jeffs, escaped custody after using olive oil to slip a GPS tracking bracelet off of his ankle.
