A jury found suspended Martins Ferry Chief Barry Carpenter guilty of receiving stolen property, theft in office and tampering with evidence. He was acquitted on charges of burglary and unauthorized used of property or services.

Carpenter put his head in his hands after the verdict was read in Belmont County court.

"The bottom line is that there is a victim in this case whose privacy was so gravely intruded upon," Ohio Assistant Attorney General Emily Laube said. "If you can't trust the police, who can you trust?

MARTINS FERRY, Ohio -- Filming for the movie "Unstoppable" will cause more traffic delays in the Ohio Valley, this time in Martins Ferry.

I don't know how they stand it, still living in the sea of RWs that surround them. My cousin's wife says they can't talk politics with anyone or they wouldn't have any friends. Jeebus, I'm glad I left that damn area in 1981. Never looked back.

6. TORO TURD!

Carpenter had testified that he went into the home to check it out because he saw a door open. He said he took photos of a surrogacy file that contained two ultrasound pictures and of a plaster cast of a pregnant stomach but did not take anything from the home...He said he showed the photo of the cast to paparazzi and to several other people...(but)...never discussed selling items from the home to the photographers.

Uh huh--he just happened to be passing by the house, just happened to see the door open, just happened to take pictures that would be worth a fortune on the gossip market, just happened to show them to people who would just happen to have a interest in to buying them, and just happened to get a colleague involved? He should have been convicted of ALL the charges.


Until...Dec. 30...(Carpenter) must stay in his mother's home and will be monitored by a GPS device...
Now, don't put him down for that--Remember, Jim Rockford lived with his daddy!

I thought they were filming Denzel in Bellaire per a link to the Times-Leader that my cousin sent me. I guess they had to move up the river a little bit.

[goodboy]

15. Hey! They went from Bellaire, to MF, to Tiltonsville, and now in Weirton..

It's a big deal, but not as big as this:)

There's at least one more MF native on here. I can't remember her handle though:)
