A woman was arrested Tuesday at the Autauga County Probate Office and charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct after attempting to marry a same-sex couple there. She had to pay a bond of $1,000.

The incident took place one day after a federal ruling went into effect that found Alabama’s ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. Because the state’s top judicial officer, Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, ordered probate judges to defy that ruling, a majority were refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples on Monday.

Diprizio, an ordained minister and mother of two, showed up Tuesday morning to make sure everything was going smoothly and to perform marriage ceremonies for any same-sex couple who wanted one. But after telling Autauga County Probate Judge Booth that she would be marrying a young couple there, Diprizio said he exploded at her.

“I gave him the courtesy of letting him know that it was my intent to marry this couple because he is no longer doing that service, and that’s what set him off,” Diprizio said. “He was livid,” 19-year-old Morgan Plunkett, who was at the probate office to marry her same-sex partner, told MSNBC. “He started cussing her out, he was telling us that we needed to leave, and that he had already called the sheriff.”

Both women said about six police officers then promptly arrived at the probate office.
