A Florida pastor who wrote an advice book on how to love your spouse was arrested this week for allegedly having multiple wives.

Leslie Williams, 62, was arrested Wednesday on an outstanding warrant for bigamy near his house in rumored swingers’ paradise, The Villages retirement community, according to the Sumter County Sheriff Department and the Villages News.

The pastor, who runs his own ministry out of the sprawling 55+ community, is wanted in Georgia after the Rockland County Sheriff’s Department there issued a warrant for his arrest on bigamy charges on April 3.

Williams was nabbed by Sumter County sheriff deputies and is being held without bond at the Sumter County Detention Center, while awaiting extradition to Georgia.

While details of Williams’ first marriage remain unclear, he shared on Facebook in December that he got married to a woman named Cindi in a post that garnered a plethora of comments congratulating the bride and groom.

“Wow I thought you were already married. Congratulations!!” one comment on the post said.

“Love is in the air! Mr. and Mrs. Williams!” said another.

Days later, the pastor praised his new wife in another post and said, “Thanks for all the wonderful comments referencing my saved, beautiful and talented wife, Mrs. Williams! She’s saved for real, praise God!!!”

Williams also posted a selfie that same week which received a comment saying he looks “like a different man.”

When something like this happens in the movies, at some point, all the women find out they’re being bamboozled, and will plot together on how to get even with the two timing teller of lies. There are several ways the women could express their displeasure.

Having more than one wife sounds like having to listen to a lot of talking.

I have horses just because it gives me a reason to go to the barn.

I don’t know why bigamy is illegal. Any guy who can live with multiple wives and the baggage they bring, deserves a medal.
