— Police in Eureka Springs say a Faulkner County volunteer fire department chief who was arrested on forgery and fraud charges is also wanted for bigamy.

Authorities arrested 45-year-old Donald Lee Wilkins of Jacksonville on Monday on felony forgery and credit card fraud charges. Wilkins is chief of the Hilltop Volunteer Fire Department.

Eureka Springs police Capt. Morris Pate says Wilkins is also wanted in Carroll County on a misdemeanor bigamy warrant.
