Washington: 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.
