Criminal Probe Over SJP-Related Break-In

Posted Jun 17th 2009 10:51AM by TMZ Staff

This one qualifies as shocking ... two police chiefs in the area where Sarah Jessica Parker's surrogate mother lives are under investigation -- for allegedly concocting a plan to break into the surrogate's home to get info for a tabloid.

Martins Ferry Police Chief Barry Carpenter and Bridgeport Police Dept. Chief Chad DoJack allegedly were behind a plan to burglarize the surrogate's home in Martins Ferry, Ohio and then sell info to a tabloid reporter -- this according to WTRF TV.

We're told investigators have seized several computers. As for the operating theory -- investigators believe the culprits were trying to get photos from inside the house to show the living conditions.

It appears there really was a break-in a few weeks ago.

UPDATE: Police Chief Barry Carpenter told WTOV: "I'm 100% innocent in this and my department is as well."

3. Hope the baby doesn't share ANY of the genes of his/her parents. Otherwise it would look/act like a gay horse. lol

(gay = Matthew Broderick, horse = SJP)

4. She's so vain! She's only using a surrogate mom so her kids aren't born as nasty looking as her!

5. TO NUMBER 3, MIKEY:

SHE IS USING A SURROGATE because she has been trying for years to get pregnant and finally they gave up. This has nothing to do with being vain. SJP said in an interview that of course she wanted to give birth to her own children but after almost 5 years, they were unsuccessful. Your such a dumb asshole to think that this has to do with being vain. People used surrogates because they have problems gettng pregnant. Your mother should of aborted you and the world would be a better, nicer, smarter place. Jerk off..

6. Martins Ferry is a little city of less than 7000 people and Bridgeport is a very small neighboring village. The Bridgeport police chief used to be an officer for the city of Martins Ferry and has a history of harassing teenagers. The investigation is being conducted by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, most likely due to the incestuous nature of most of the local small town departments. A special prosecutor from Harrison County has been appointed to oversee investigations because of conflict of interest between Belmont County prosecutors and the departments.

You can abuse the residents all day long, but you don't mess with the friend of famous people.

7. The surrogate lives in a house? I would have expected to see stable mentioned somewhere in the headline. How can can the kid share the horse face of mom if the surrogate is human?

8. DO you think that would keep them from breaking in again?.HOMELAND security CIA DOD NSA FBI can enter ANYONE`S HOME anytime...they can also go though your mail bug your phone anything they want to do and feed that all to AT&T and you end up a JOBLESS Howard HUGHE`s Hiar that is the way it has always been.NO one ever hired DAD-howard Hughes JR and mom even could`nt get a JOB JEAN PETERS.Broadcasters on me 247 365 since 1964.Most I ever made was 4,000 a year untill they took over that companie again and again and again or the store or the gym or anyone anywhere.NO MORMONS means just that.I was the only mormon in town after town after town but I was`nt even a mormon by faith.MACHAL4sure but still broke as shoe fly

9. Who cares??? They are just trying to keep themselves in the spotlight otherwise they wouldn't have let the public know she has a surrogate. Guess she doesn't want to ruin her figure by getting preggers...................

10. CRUEL COMMENTS PEOPLE. MAYBE YOU SHOULD LOOK IN THE MIRROR BEFORE DISSING SOMEONE. THE SURROGATE MOTHER , I BELIEVE, IS CARRYING CARRIE AND MATTHEW'S FERTILIZED EGGS.

11. Wow, if this is true it is just scary.

12. That is truly frightening. This woman should not have to be stressed out about things like this - especially right now. How nerve wracking. :(

13. Rumor has it that one of the chief's relatives owns the motel where the tabloid reporter was staying, and that's how this whole mess got started.

14. People in trusted positions are often the most criminal because they are ... TRUSTED. They know they can get away with things because no one would believe they are a crook.

15. She is gorgeous and who cares how she is having a baby? Some people shouldn't be able to have kids anyway so at least this kid is better off!
