MOBILE, Ala., Feb. 6 (UPI) -- A mentally disabled man and his daughter, a sexual assault victim, are under arrest in Alabama for violating probation in an earlier incest case.
Carroll Ferdinandsen, 53, and his daughter, Alice, 30, made headlines last year after marrying each other in Mobile County, the Register reported Friday.
They were arrested last July on incest charges, as well as charges of cruelty to animals and forgery. The marriage was voided in December and the two were ordered to keep separate residences after they pleaded guilty to incest.
But Tuesday police found the couple in a Saraland motel and arrested them both on probation violation.
Carroll Ferdinandsen lawyer, Claude Patton, said his client is mentally ill.
In 1989, he pleaded guilty to second-degree rape involving his daughter and spent a year in jail. Alice Ferdinandsen was 16 at the time.
