Seattle P-I: Lake Forest Park man has too many wives

According to an article in the Seattle P-I, the first wife of a Lake Forest Park man turned him in to police when she found out about his second wife.

A Lake Forest Park man accused of marrying a second wife while still wed to his first has been charged with bigamy. 

Filing the felony charge, King County prosecutors contend Patrick McDanel married the second woman in May 2012. According to charging papers, McDanel, 47, hid his wife of 23 years from No. 2. 

McDanel’s first wife contacted Lake Forest Park police on Oct. 7 after learning her hubby had doubled down on marriage. 

Speaking with police, the woman -- mother to three of McDanel’s children -- reported her husband served her with divorce papers the week before she contacted authorities. A Lake Forest Park detective later confirmed that McDanel filed for divorce in late September.
