SALT LAKE CITY —
A Utah man who was holed up with the “freemen” in Montana for nearly 2 1/2 months was in jail Sunday after his arrest by federal marshals.
Elwin Ward had left the ranch June 6 with his wife, Gloria Ward, and her two daughters. Charges against him were not immediately clear. “I’m told it has something to do with aiding and abetting” the freemen, said Gloria Ward’s sister, Lynn Nielsen, who said Ward was arrested at her mother’s house Friday.
