Handcuffed and looking glum with his belly hanging over his pants, this is the moment pervert cult leader Samuel Rappylee Bateman was arrested in Flagstaff, Arizona, after being caught towing three of his underage ‘wives’ in a box trailer.
Footage of the arrest, obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, was captured by deputies from the Coconino County Sheriff’s Department during a late August traffic stop.

When police opened it, they found three girls aged between 11 and 14 hiding inside the vehicle, which had been kitted out with makeshift seats and a porta-potty.
