Police Chiefs In Parker-Broderick Surrogate Case Face Trial

ST. CLAIRSVILLE, Ohio — Trial dates have been set for two eastern Ohio police chiefs accused of snooping on a surrogate mother for actress Sarah Jessica Parker and actor Matthew Broderick.

Martins Ferry Chief Barry Carpenter and Police Chief Chad Dojack from neighboring Bridgeport are accused in an alleged scheme to take things from the Martins Ferry home of the woman who recently carried twins girls for Parker and Broderick.

On Friday, Carpenter's trial was set for Nov. 16 and Dojack's for Jan. 12 in Belmont County Common Pleas Court.

A special prosecutor said the chiefs, who are charged with several felonies, tried to sell items to celebrity photographers. Carpenter and Dojack have pleaded not guilty.

Geez, who ever wrote this should maybe go to work for STAR or the ENQUIRER! The first sentence sounds like the cops were working for the Brodericks. It's a tabloid hook to get you to read on. But the writer should've known that this is news so there was no need to sensationalize it further!

[Agentlady007]

Oh, these two little darlings shouldn't have this happening.
If I know them, and I do, I would say to just live your life and let the law handle this. It's water under the bridge. Life goes on, and good days flow down the river now.

[firewmn]

these guy are in some big trouble.. they should just plead guilty and get on with it..the AG's office will be more sympathetic if the bad cops are agreeable to plea guilty..

[Okieborn]

Believe me I see Free Passes being handed out on this one !!!

[Zen0469]

Send these two police chiefs, Carpenter and Dojack, up the river for 20 years each. I'll volunteer for jury duty.

[Sing Out and Slap Iron]

20 years? Get a grip and jump off the self righteous express. They're going to plead out and probably get probation.

And I'm sure they'll want your ilk on the panel. Sh*it, I could voir dire your a$$ and get you thrown off in 3 questions. And I'm not even a trial lawyer.

[2tango]

Poor guy he have the face of "If I knew it, I wouldn't done it" Or "Why me?"

[bayside]

In other words these police thought they could make some money from items associated with the surrogate motherm but got caught stealing.

[Nikkiefied]

Wow, I wonder how they even found out that they were doing it. And it seems like such a strange plan. What were they wanting to take, and how would they even prove it belonged to that mother?

I live across the river from there...Just over Martins Ferry earlier today picking up some woodstove parts.

It's a very "small town Americana" place...How scandalous.

[gascelebrations]

Matthew Broderick = Andrew Jackson

[marley22]

I seriously think he's doing it as a tribute to his father. He looks just like him with those chops.

[lisalovesamelie]

I believe it's for a part in a play he is/was doing.

[ImissBush]

so if im readin this correctly...

they spied 4 sjp &mb

[StevoH2O]

No, just poor phrasing.

[TaurusRose]

I almost share your conclusion, but how to KNOW? A good clue is that the way it is phrased is absolutely irresponsible, AND OF COURSE, it's in the Huff.iPos.t op...eh, OVER the top

[gavrielle]

Agreed, very poor and misleading.

[jessicadevyn]

As much as I don't care for either Parker or Broderick this case is disgusting. It's good to see police actually going to jail for their crimes for once! Let this story be a lesson to everyone, do NOT trust the police.

[OilCrash]

Really? You don't care for either one? What's wrong with you.? Come on, Ferris Bueller?

[HekmabaJuzimax]

You may care about Ferris Bueller, but I have it on good authority* that Ferris doesn't care about any of his fans. He's a narcissist, you know.

Gotta watch your grammar!

"Trial dates have been set for two eastern Ohio police chiefs accused of snooping on a surrogate mother for actress Sarah Jessica Parker and actor Matthew Broderick."

WHO was doing WHAT for SJP and MB?

[ibsteve2u]

? ? ?

Is surrogate mother...grammar would be a generation back.

[anitaj]

That was how it read to me as well. I was wondering why SJP and MB wanted to acquire their employees personal belongings until the last paragraph.

If the Chiefs are guilty, I hope that the law comes down hard on them.
