BEVERLY HILLS, Texas (KWKT) A 36-year-old Texas woman is being held on felony stalking charges in a bizarre case in which a wedding was held without the groom present and without his knowledge.
Kristin Marie Spearman was arrested and booked into the McLennan County Jail.
Beverly Hills Police Chief Kory Martin said his office was contacted by a 42-year-old man Friday who said that he found a package from his ex-girlfriend at his home that included a copy of a marriage certificate showing he was married.
The victim told police he had been in a relationship with the suspect and they had gotten a marriage license around June 2, but had broken up before the wedding took place. Chief Martin said the investigation determined that the woman had convinced a pastor to certify the marriage without the groom being present. Martin said she then went to the county clerk’s office and filed the certificate.
Martin said that with the assistance of the Hewitt Police Department, the suspect was located at her residence near Hewitt. Police obtained an arrest warrant for third-degree felony stalking and took Spearman into custody. She was booked into the McLennan County Jail.
Martin said his department was not releasing any information on who officiated the ceremony as of Monday as they move forward with the case.
