One of the wives of polygamist cult leader Warren Jeffs made a dramatic escape from his sect on Monday night with the help of police, RadarOnline.com has learned.

The barefoot woman, who is among an estimated 85 wives married to the convicted sex offender, fled from the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Colorado City, Arizona, and is now getting psychiatric treatment and counseling at a nearby women's shelter.

Sheriff deputies arrived on a "keep the peace" call at about 3 p.m., said Detective Nate Abbott, according to a report in the Salt Lake Tribune.

"She asked for assistance in leaving the community, and a deputy responded and facilitated that request," he explained.

The polygamist cult leader, and former head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, is in prison serving a life sentence after being found guilty of sexually assaulting two young girls, ages 12 and 15, whom he claimed were his “spiritual wives.”

Jeffs is in the East Texas Medical Center in Tyler and the prison spokesman described his condition on Monday.  “Jeffs has not been eating/taking in fluids as he should,” the Salt Lake Tribune reported spokesman Jason Clark said in a statement.  “He indicated he was not on a hunger strike but fasting.  The inmate also has other medical conditions that have risen to the level of needing hospitalization.”
