A trial for a woman connected to the hoax call that sparked the raid on the Fundamentalist LDS Church’s YFZ Ranch has been delayed.

Rozita Swinton was scheduled to go on trial Jan. 6 on unrelated charges stemming from a hoax call in Colorado Springs, Colo. El Paso County district attorney’s spokeswoman Lin Billings said in an e-mail Friday the trial was vacated after a “request for an extension of time to complete Ms. Swinton’s mental health evaluation.”
