PENSACOLA (AP) – Authorities say a woman connected to the fatal shooting of a Florida Panhandle couple has also been charged with bigamy.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrested 47-year-old Pamela Long Wiggins Thursday on charges filed by the state attorney’s office in Okaloosa County, where she was married for a second time.

Records show the woman married Hugh Wiggins in Okaloosa County on Dec. 31 and Jimmy Malden Jr. in Bay Minette, Ala., on May 5, 2007.

Long Wiggins, charged with being an accessory after the fact, had been free on $10,000 bail. She was being held on an additional $5,000 bail for the bigamy charge.
