KINGMAN, Ariz. (AP) -- The brother of jailed polygamous leader Warren Jeffs has been arrested in Arizona.
The Mohave County sheriff's office says 38-year-old John Jeffs was booked for investigation of resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
Deputies arrested Jeffs on Friday while conducting a welfare check regarding his eleven-year-old son, who they say was NOT harmed.
Meanwhile, Warren Jeffs is expected to make his initial court appearance in Utah this afternoon.
The 50-year-old Jeffs is facing felony sex charges involving an arranged marriage between an underage girl and an older man that carry a maximum penalty of life in prison.
