"Authorities began investigating Harry Irvine Burdick Jr., who is in his 60s, on suspicion of bigamy after a report that was filed in April led to the discovery that he had three marriage licenses with three women, the sheriff's office said in a news release Aug. 28. He was charged Aug. 22 on two counts of felony bigamy. "Financial motivation and personal gain were the motives" for the marriages, the sheriff's office said in the release."

After his arrest, Burdick was released on a written promise to appear in court Sept. 22, authorities said."
