CLAYTON • Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson married his girlfriend, also a Ferguson police officer, on Oct. 24.

Wilson, 28, wed Barbara Spradling, 36, in Overland. Attorney and municipal Judge Christopher Graville performed the informal ceremony, according to the marriage license.

The couple went unnoticed when they applied for a marriage license at the St. Louis County Courthouse, sources there said.

Wilson's attorneys declined to comment.

Wilson was involved in a controversial police shooting on Aug. 9, in which he killed an unarmed Michael Brown, 18, sparking months of protests. A grand jury is expected to determine at any time whether he should be charged in the killing.

This is Wilson's second marriage. He married Ashley Brown on Oct. 15, 2011. They bought a house in Troy, in Lincoln County, in June 2012, but sold it a year later, two months after Wilson filed for divorce and four months after the couple separated.

The divorce was finalized on Nov. 18, 2013.
