Man accused of bigamy after wives connect
CARY, N.C. (UPI) -- A North Carolina man who allegedly had two wives in towns about 15 miles apart is facing a bigamy charge after his double life caught up with him.
Dawn Stone-Wilkins, 32, who married Keron Wilkins, 30, of Clayton several months ago, told NBC17 in Raleigh she had begun to wonder why her husband would disappear for days at a time.
Then she got a late-night telephone call: "I said 'How did you get my number?' and she said 'Well I got it out of his phone.' I said, 'Excuse me?' She said, 'Well he's in the other room in our bed asleep, and I'm in our daughter's room.' I said, 'Excuse me?' She said, 'And I'm Keron's wife.' And I said, 'Well how are you Keron's wife when I'm Keron's wife?'"
Stone-Wilkins said she and Keron lived in Cary, a town about 10 miles outside Raleigh and 15 miles from Clayton. Chaka Wilkins has been married to Keron for eight years and have two children, ages 4 and 8 months, the TV station reported.
According to an arrest warrant filed Tuesday in Wake County Magistrate Court, Keron Wilkins is charged with one felony count of bigamy.
