An Autauga County woman is facing a disorderly conduct charge after offering to perform a same-sex wedding inside a courthouse. Sheriff Joe Sedinger says the woman was arrested Tuesday in the probate office. Sedinger says a dispute occurred between Probate Judge Alfred Booth and Anne Susan Diprizio of Prattville after two women obtained a marriage license. The sheriff says Diprizio identified herself as a minister and offered to marry the women. But Booth is not allowing marriage ceremonies in his office since gay marriage became legal on Monday. Diprizio is free on $1,000 bail.
