Woman arrested as gay couple gets Alabama marriage license

PRATTVILLE, Ala. (AP) -- An Alabama woman is facing a disorderly conduct charge after offering to perform a same-sex wedding inside a courthouse.<br /> <br /> Autauga County Sheriff Joe Sedinger says the woman was arrested Tuesday in the probate office.<br /> <br /> Sedinger says a dispute occurred between Probate Judge Alfred Booth and Anne Susan Diprizio, of Prattville, after two women obtained a marriage license.<br /> <br /> The sheriff says Diprizio identified herself as a minister and offered to marry the women. But Booth hasn't been allowing marriage ceremonies in his office since gay marriage became legal in Alabama.<br /> <br /> Sedinger says the judge called deputies, who found the woman kneeling and refusing to leave in an apparent protest.<br /> <br /> Sedinger says Diprizio is free on $1,000 bail.
