The Washington County Attorney's Office said late Tuesday that it was willing to let Arizona go first but was still working with its counterparts. Mohave County Attorney Matt Smith said he will have to see what Jeffs does on Thursday.

"Like anyone else, he will have the decision of whether or not he waives or fights extradition," he said Tuesday. In 2005, Jeffs was indicted on charges of sexual conduct with a minor and conspiracy to commit sexual conduct with a minor in Kingman, Ariz.

Meanwhile, investigations into Jeffs and the FLDS Church continue.

Utah's attorney general has been conducting an organized crime investigation. In an interview Tuesday with the Deseret Morning News, Mark Shurtleff said he did not have enough to proceed with any charges.

"We don't have anything to that point yet," he said. "Documents, we just don't have them yet. I always thought with bringing Warren Jeffs in, somehow we'd be able to get that."

A federal grand jury in Phoenix has issued subpoenas to FLDS members. Many who refused to testify have been jailed for contempt of court. Tolman would not say if federal authorities in Utah were conducting a similar investigation.

"I will only say that it is an ongoing investigation. There are potential charges that could be brought federally in Utah and Arizona," Tolman said. "All of those matters are being looked at carefully."
