A 44-year-old American man has been sentenced to prison after pleading no contest to charges that he married his wife’s daughter.
The saga started when Hauptmann married Shannon Deitrich in Florida in 2015.
Hauptmann said he respects the law and always follows it in the initial hearing early in 2017.
“I have always been on the side of the law, and I have had police back me up several times,” he said, reported the Item.
“That’s why they handcuffed me in the front because they know I am no threat to them.”
Hauptmann and his second wife own and operate PA Bail and Recovery in Coal Township.
“Ripping my heart out all over again,” she posted soon after her husband married her daughter, according to the Item.
On Oct. 31, Deitrich posted: “Met with my divorce attorney ... feeling very hopeful and seeing a light at the end of this black hole marriage. finally!!!”
