Woman Arrested for Trying to Perform Same-Sex Marriage

  • 9 years ago
Anne Susan Diprizio, 44, was charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct after offering to perform a

same-sex marriage inside the probate judge's office.

Deputies were called to the probate office, one block from the courthouse, about 10:30 a.m. CT when

Probate Judge Al Booth asked for assistance, Hill said.

"Judge Booth said there was a lady in the office who wouldn't leave when he asked her to leave," Hill

said.

Deputies asked Diprizio to leave several times, but she refused. Capt. Tom Allen told her she was either going to leave the office or be arrested, so she got up from the chair in which she was sitting and knelt on the floor.

Allen handcuffed her and led her across the street to the jail.
