Washington County Sheriff's Office | |
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office received custody of inmate Warren Jeffs this morning at approximately 11:00 AM MST. Inmate Jeffs was transported by helicopter to the Purgatory Correctional Facility to face state charges. Inmate Jeffs was cooperative and compliant with the requests made of him by WCSO personnel. Sheriff Kirk Smith will be holding a press conference outside the front doors of the Purgatory Correctional Facility at 3:30 PM MST to answer questions the media may have regarding the Purgatory Correctional Facility and the transport of Warren Jeffs. We will not be in a position to comment specifically on any pending court cases Inmate Jeffs may be facing. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank Commissioner Scott Duncan and Colonel Lance Davenport of the Utah Department of Public Safety for their assistance in the helicopter transport. We would also like to thank Sheriff Bill Young and Sgt. Dan Flaherty of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department for their assistance in arranging the transport. | |
