Garrick Merrifield of the TLC series Seeking Sister Wife was reportedly arrested on Monday in Chaffee County, Colorado.
It was not immediately clear what Merrifield was specifically accused of doing prior to the arrest but court records indicated that Merrifield has been charged with one count of telephone-obstruct service, according to TMZ.
A spokesperson for the Chaffee County Jail told the outlet on Tuesday that Merrifield has since bonded out of the facility.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Merrifield via Instagram and reps for TLC’s parent company Warner Bros Discovery for further comment.
With his plural marriage beliefs, Merrifield is in a relationship with his ex-wife Danielle and legally married to wife Lorrana, a Brazil native who he recently celebrated his one-year wedding anniversary with.
Merrifield and Danielle are not technically married, as they got divorced legally to enable Merrifield to marry more women to accommodate their lifestyle.

Danielle talked on the show about her feelings on the arrangement: ‘Maybe because Garrick and I have gone through so much in our marriage and considered really divorcing each other, that it like hits a point in my heart.’
Garrick and Danielle share three children together – teen sons Geremiah and Solomon and daughter Leia, two.
On July 3, the couple welcomed a daughter named Sarah Mae Merrifield.
‘I am so happy to see Sarah growing up alongside her siblings, creating bonds and receiving so much love from the whole family,’ Lorrana told People earlier this year.
Lorrana said of their newborn: ‘She is very smiley, always with a wide and cheerful smile when she sees each of us.’
Garrick told the publication of his newborn: ‘Baby Sarah is definitely a squeaker. She is loud.’
He added: ‘I wonder if she might be an opera singer someday. She’s got some lungs on her.’
Garrick said that he was excited about his younger children interacting with one another.
