A man in America is facing polygamy charges after his first wife saw wedding photos of his with another woman on social networking site Facebook. According to CBS affiliate WWMT, Richard Barton Jr, 34, of Grand Rapids was arrested by Michigan State Police after the wife he left in Rhode Island saw the photos. "I let love get in the way," CBS News quoted the Grand Rapids Press as reporting Barton as saying outside a Walker, Mich, home where he is staying with friends. Barton, who is free from jail on a personal bond, also said he 'made a mistake' but declined to comment further. His first wife said they had met online in 2003 and he moved to Rhode Island so they could be together. They married in 2004, but the woman said Barton didn't return from work one day and she discovered he had been arrested as a parole absconder from Michigan. Barton, who had been convicted of home invasion in 2000, then fled Rhode Island after his release from prison, the report said. He now faces felony charges of polygamy, which carries a penalty of four years in prison and/or a 5,000-dollar fine, after he married the Grand Rapids woman in July 2010. He was arraigned and faces additional charges due to his status as a habitual offender.
