BOSTON (AP) - Former Boston mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger has had his first trip from prison to hospital for treatment of chest pains.
The 82-year-old Bulger has a history of heart problems. He previously told federal agents that he had traveled to Mexico to purchase heart medication during his time on the run.
Bulger was taken to a Boston hospital for treatment last week before returning to the Plymouth jail. A Boston Medical Center spokeswoman did not immediately return a call for comment.
The longtime FBI informant was captured in June in Santa Monica, Calif., after more than 16 years on the run. He was living with longtime girlfriend Catherine Greig (grehg).
Bulger has pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from allegations that he participated in 19 murders.
Greig has pleaded not guilty to a conspiracy charge.
