MARTINS FERRY, Ohio -- A mayor has suspended an Ohio police chief without pay in the alleged snooping on a Hollywood couple's surrogate mother.
Tuesday's decision for Martins Ferry Chief Barry Carpenter came a day after Police Chief Chad Dojack from neighboring Bridgeport was put on paid leave by his village council.
Both chiefs are accused in an alleged scheme to take things from the Martins Ferry home of the woman who recently carried twins for Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick. A special prosecutor said the eastern Ohio chiefs, who are charged with several felonies, tried to sell items to celebrity photographers. Carpenter and Dojack pleaded not guilty on Friday.
Martins Ferry Mayor Phil Wallace said Carpenter's suspension is indefinite.
