Once he got a taste of my sweet phat punany... he aint going back to those other skanks...
CINCINNATI -- He might have gotten away with it, if not for that meddling Facebook.
William Lawson, 39, is accused of being married to two women at the same time.
According to Hamilton County Municipal Court records, one of the wives filed a complaint in July 2013 after she noticed Lawson posting about his new marriage on social media.
The incident only recently came to light because of new, unrelated charges that Lawson is facing.
Police said Lawson married Britni Chantel Lindley on May 9, 2013 while still being married to Sharon Lawson.
Court documents state William Lawson was living with Sharon Lawson prior to August 2012 when he moved out. At the time, Sharon Lawson told police she noticed on Facebook in May 2013 that her estranged husband had married again.
Investigators said Hamilton County Court records indicate that William and Sharon Lawson had not divorced prior to William Lawson’s marriage to Lindley.
Sharon Lawson gave a statement to the court that she had been married to William since March 2007. She wrote that, “it’s a proven fact he and I are still married and will not be divorced until September 2013.”
A warrant in his name was issued in July 2013 for bigamy -- a first-degree misdemeanor. He was never arraigned on that charge until about two years later when he was arrested in connection with two other cases.
In the first case, Lawson was charged with theft and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
Investigators said Lawson is accused of taking an Xbox gaming system from a home he was house sitting at on June 1 and pawning the device. Officers said Lawson also used the victim’s vehicle to sell the device and abandoned the vehicle in Cincinnati.
Lawson was also arraigned on a burglary case from May 2013. Investigators said Lawson tried to take two outside A/C units from a home in the 700 block of Kingfisher Lane.
He was arraigned on all four charges in Hamilton County Court Tuesday morning.
