Tuesday, Warren Jeffs, the polygamist sect leader who was jailed, was transported to a hospital in Las Vegas. According to CNN, Las Vegas police Officer Jose Montoya said he was taken from an Arizona jail to the Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center in Las Vegas. He refused to give details regarding Warren Jeffs’ medical condition.

“I can't tell you why he was brought here or what his condition is,” he said, reported CNN.

The polygamist sect leader was convicted last year on two counts of first-degree felony rape. He also faces other felony charges: five counts of sexual conduct with a minor and four counts of incest. He was convicted in November, being sentenced to two consecutive terms of five years to life in Utah. In 2001, he performed the marriage of a 14-year-old follower to her 19-year-old cousin.

According to court records, Warren Jeffs tried to hang himself while he was waiting his sentence. On the day after he tried to kill himself, Warren Jeffs was seen by those who were watching him banging his head and throwing himself against a wall. He also refused food and water for a whole month and he hurt his knees because he used to kneel in prayer for hours.

Warren Jeffs, 52, is the leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It has about 10,000 members.

Although in April, authorities removed about 400 children from the FLDS' Yearning for Zion Ranch near Eldorado, Texas, the Texas Supreme Court ruled in June that the state shouldn’t have taken the children because it had no right. Moreover, the state had no evidence that the children were in any danger of being abused. The families were allowed to take their children back.
