COLORADO SPRINGS - A call from a 16-year old girl, claiming sexual abuse at the Texas Polygamist Compound may have been a prank call from a Colorado Springs woman. 33-year old Rozita Swinton was arrested Wednesday Night by Colorado Springs Police.

According to sources close to the investigation, the F.B.I. began tracing calls from a person named "Sarah" to a Teenage Rescue Mission for girls trying to escape the sect. "Sarah" is the same person who made the call which lead to the raid.  Authorities now believe Swinton was behind those fake calls, where 416 children were removed from the compound.

Texas Rangers were in town Wednesday night to interview Swinton, but they have not filed any charges.

"She does have some history with Colorado Springs Police of making prior false calls to police," says Lt. Skip Arms. Court Affidavits have been sealed in her recent arrest, but NEWSCHANNEL 13 has learned that it relates to a false call back in February from a girl named "Jennifer" claiming she was being held hostage in a basement off Candon Drive. Colorado Springs Police spent most of the day searching more than a dozen homes for a person in distress. 

Neighbor Travis Ledger tells NEWSCHANNEL 13 that Swinton was quiet, but sometimes would bring up police. "If the cops came by here she'd ask why or this and that." He thinks she may have been calling police for attention. "Maybe she's looking for another reason to call police and stir up more stuff."

Texas Rangers are expected to release more information Friday.
