Seeking Sister Wife star Garrick Merrifield was arrested Monday in Chaffee County, Colorado, for domestic violence– a charge stemming from an incident on November 22, according to Starcasm. 

Documents obtained by the outlet specify Garrick’s misdemeanor Domestic Violence charge as “Telephone-Obstruct Service,” which occurs when a person “knowingly prevents, obstructs, or delays, by any means whatsoever, the sending, transmission, conveyance, or delivery in this state of any message, communication or report.” (This includes messages sent by telephone, email or other device.) 

Garrick bonded out of jail on Tuesday, the same day a mandatory protection order was granted.  According to court records obtained by The Ashley, Garrick is next due in court for an in-court appearance on December 2.

While the details of Garrick’s arrest have yet to be revealed, screenshots taken during his court hearing this week that were posted to Facebook show that a Portuguese interpreter was present for the hearing, suggesting that the case involves Garrick’s Brazilian wife Lorrana, whom he married in October 2024.

As The Ashley previously told you, the Merrifields– Garrick, Lorrana and Garrick’s first wife, Dannielle– announced last week that Lorrana and Garrick had welcomed their first child together in July, a daughter named Sarah Mae. (Garrick also shares three children with Dannielle, whom the couple welcomed prior to Lorrana joining the family.)  

While Garrick expressed in the announcement posted by the official TLC Instagram account last week that he and his wives planned to welcome more children and more wives to their family.

As of press time, both Garrick and Dannielle appear to have removed all photos of Lorrana from their respective Instagram pages– including the video shared by TLC, in which they are no longer tagged. Only one single promo pic featuring Lorrana remains on Dannielle’s account.
