Why was Lawrence arrested?


At the end of the movie, we see Lawrence (Prince Naveen's servant) forced into a paddy wagon, under arrest. But what was the charge?

Lawrence did some despicable things, but which of them was illegal? The only one I can think of is marrying under false pretenses. But arresting him for that would require accepting the supernatural premise that he was magically transformed into the Prince's appearance. What prosecutor or jury would have accepted that? Also, the marriage was not completed.

I guess he did pose as royalty and technically that's fraud. Also he could've been done for grooming an underage girl into marrying him... Either way he stayed at Big Daddy's house under false pretences and spent way too much time with his daughter, who is clearly far too young for him.
