Cop: I didn't try to sell Parker-Broderick items
Posted November 19, 2009 10:00 pm
ST. CLAIRSVILLE, Ohio -- An eastern Ohio police chief accused of breaking into the home of the woman who carried twins for Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick says he never discussed selling items from the home.
Suspended Martins Ferry Police Chief Barry Carpenter testified Friday at his trial on burglary and other charges. He says he went into the woman's home after he saw a basement door open while on routine patrol.
He says he took a photo of a surrogacy file that contained two ultrasound pictures and of a plaster cast of a pregnant stomach. He says he showed the photo of the cast to paparazzi and to several other people.
Carpenter says he met with the photographers after being called by the police chief of a neighboring town.
