Police took Fotis Dulos, the estranged husband of missing Connecticut mother Jennifer Farber Dulos, into custody Wednesday afternoon and charged him for a second time with tampering with evidence. According to the The Hartford Courant, he posted a $500,000 bond and was released Wednesday evening. “It’s an exhausting fight, I love my children, that’s about it,” Dulos told the newspaper upon his release. Norm Pattis, Dulos' lawyer, said the arrest didn't “even rise to the level of a jab” and his client was “neither bending nor breaking” in the case. “We will enter a not guilty plea the first chance we get,” he said. Dulos and his girlfriend, Michelle Troconis, were released on $500,000 bail after being arrested in early June for hindering prosecution and tampering with evidence.

Jennifer Farber Dulos was last seen on May 24. Police found traces of blood belonging to Jennifer in the garage of her home, and authorities have said there was evidence of a “serious assault.” According to records, investigators tracked down video footage of a man who looks like Fotis dumping garbage bags in 30 trash bins in Hartford, Conn., the night she went missing. Some of those bags reportedly contained items with Jennifer’s blood. The two share five children and were involved in a tumultuous divorce.
