Polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs has been taken from jail to a Las Vegas hospital for an unspecified medical problem.

Las Vegas police Officer Jose Montoya says Jeffs was brought to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center on Tuesday from an Arizona jail.

Montoya declined to provide details on Jeffs’ medical condition. Calls to a sheriff’s spokeswoman were not returned Tuesday night.

Jeffs was convicted by a Utah jury last year on two counts of first-degree felony rape. He was sentenced to two consecutive terms of five years to life in prison for his role in the 2001 marriage of a 14-year-old follower to her 19-year-old cousin.

Jeffs had been in an Arizona jail facing charges of incest and sexual misconduct. He is the leader of the polygamist sect whose ranch was raided in west Texas in April.
