Jeffs's attorney arrested

IVINS, Utah, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- An attorney representing jailed polygamous sect leader Warren Jeffs has been arrested on suspicion of public intoxication, police in Utah said.

Walter "Wally" Bugden was arrested at 1:38 a.m. Saturday morning by police in Ivins, Utah, the Salt Lake Tribune reported Sunday.

The newspaper said Bugden, 58, posted $182 bond and was released from jail.

Ivins police Sgt. Tracy Marrott said Bugden was arrested within city limits, but Marrott wouldn't discuss the circumstances of the incident that landed Bugden in jail.

Jeffs, president of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, was convicted in 2007 of being an accomplice to rape. He is awaiting trial in Arizona on similar charges.
