Parker-Broderick surrogate takes stand in Ohio (AP)

ST. CLAIRSVILLE, river â€" The woman who bore match girls for Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick said weekday that she was experience in a West Virginia motel around the time a police honcho is accused of breaking into her eastern river home.

Michelle Ross, 26, testified that ultrasound photos, surrogacy files and tax aggregation were gone when she returned, that someone had riffled through photos; and that a surface patch of her abdomen from when she was pregnant with her possess son was misplaced.

Ross' testimony came in the trial in Belmont County Common Pleas Court of suspended Police Chief Barry Carpenter of Martins Ferry, where doc lived. He is accused of breaking into her bag in May and then trying to delude items attendant to the pregnancy to paparazzi, with the help of Police Chief Afroasiatic Dojack of neighboring Bridgeport.

Ross said the surrogacy agency touched her to the motel in May, when she was eight to nine months pregnant and uncomfortable. She said she had been a surrogate erst before and had touched to Ohio from Florida.

Ross said she was not experience in the bag when a honor photographer contacted her to verify her the chiefs and others were trying to delude her personal items.

When asked by a accumulation attorney why she wrote most her surrogacy on MySpace.com, doc said she was allowed to handle it but couldn't say for whom she was carrying.

Ross said the surrogacy agency touched her to a series of cabins after it became known that she was Parker's surrogate. She said she lived in a hotel in Wheeling, W.Va., with her dog, cats and a python just before giving birth, while her son stayed with relatives.

She said she later delivered the twins in an emergency caesarian section.

Earlier Thursday, prosecutors played audio tapes of an investigator's discourse with Carpenter in which the honcho said he entered the woman's bag because he saw the level door wide open.

A police officer later testified that Carpenter, 32, told him, "I didn't take anything out of that house."

The tapes show Carpenter laughed when a state agent told him most the criminal investigation and later began crying during questioning.

Carpenter said on the tapes that he saw whatever "off the wall" items inside, including the surface abdominal cast, when he entered Ross' home, and that he secured it and left.

Carpenter said Dojack called him and said paparazzi desired aggregation most the surrogate and would pay $20,000 for items. He said that he talked to the Belmont County functionary most it and that he didn't want anything to do with the photographers.

"They did hound me, and they were really wanting this stuff," Carpenter said.

The prosecutor, Chris Berhalter, testified that Carpenter called him to speech most a picture taken at Ross' home.

On the tapes, Carpenter told the investigator that he met with the photographers to verify them doc did not live in the city anymore and that he refused to delude them anything.

When the investigator told Carpenter: "We hit taped conversations of you offering to delude those items to paparazzi," the honcho said he was joking.

A honor photographer testified Tuesday that Carpenter told him he had admittance to items belonging to doc and that he never thought the honcho was joking.

Carpenter faces several felony charges, including burglary, receiving stolen property and theft in office. He could face 21 1/2 years in situation if convicted on all counts.

Dojack faces counts of complicity to burglary and complicity to receiving stolen property. His trial is ordered for January.

Parker, star of TV's "Sex and the City," and film actor Broderick are raising the match girls, named Tabitha and Marion. They are not expected to testify.
