20
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 3: Are dealing with an extremely violent individual. This was what

21
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 3: we would think as an isolated incident. It's not anything

22
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 3: to where we think the community is in danger because

23
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 3: of a person who may be out here randomly targeting people,

24
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 3: because we don't think that's the case at all. However,

25
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: we do need the community to be very careful. We

26
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,400

Speaker 1: man wedding party wrecking crew, collecting three wives at the

00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: same time. Betsy married his first wife, Tanya Betsy, November

Speaker 1: twenty twenty at the Jacksonville Courthouse after meeting her on tender.

57
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: in Manatee County. Months later, a third woman, Michelle Narrens,

58
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: met Betsy on the dating website match dot Com, and

59
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: they tied the knot at a county courthouse in Hernando

60
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: County on November twenty third, twenty twenty two, after only

61
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: knowing each other for three weeks. For months, the marriage,

62
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: swindler was living a triple life, married to three different women,

63
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: each of whom was unaware of the others. His ways

64
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't be brought to light until his first wife, Tanya,

65
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: began to search for her husband's name in county court

66
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: records and made the shocking discovery that he had marriage

67
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: licenses to two other women. She said, I just started

68
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: county by county putting in his name. After that's when

69
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: I came up with the marriage to Michelle and the

70
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: marriage to Brandy. Tanya then found Michelle online and messaged

71
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: her with the startling findings. Michelle contacted law enforcement about

72
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: Betsy's actions, resulting in his arrest for felony bigamy at

73
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: his residence in Seminole County. The women believed that Betsy

74
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: married them for money. Brandy shared that on the day

75
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: they got married, he told her they needed to quote

76
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: to make your bank account a joint bank account. The

77
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: women also slammed the counties in Florida for not communicating

78
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: effectively enough to prevent him from getting married repeatedly. Michelle

79
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: and Tanya say they also obtained domestic violence orders from

80
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: judges Betsy became abusive and they were able to escape

81
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: their marriages. Brandy says she kicked Betsy out of the

82
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: house just five days into the marriage. At his sentencing,

83
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: Betsy apologized for marrying the women at the same time, saying,

84
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: quote first and foremost, I want to apologize to the ladies,

85
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: and I want to apologize to the court administration and

86
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: to my family and friends that had to be involved

87
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: in this, because ultimately, this is something that I didn't

88
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: wish to be a part of. Michelle showed up for

89
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: his sentencing and says she doesn't think Betsy has any

90
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: remorse at all for what he has done. Henry Betsy

91
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: Junior escapes jail time. He is sentenced to two years

92
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: probation after he pleaded no contest to the felony bigamy.

93
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 3: Now.

94
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: Along with his sentence of two years probation, Judge Charles B.

95
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: Merritt Junior, ordered Betsy to perform one hundred hours of

96
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,839
