Two US police chiefs accused of snooping on the surrogate mother for actors Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick have been charged with several offenses. Special prosecutor T Shawn Hervey said the men conspired to take items from the woman's eastern Ohio home to sell to celebrity photographers. The two officers - Martins Ferry Police Chief Barry Carpenter and Bridgeport Police Chief Chad Dojack - denied all charges and were freed on their own recognizance. The surrogate mother, who gave birth to twins June 22 at an Ohio hospital, was not home at the time of the alleged burglary. Publicist Simon Halls has said Parker and Broderick “have complete faith in the legal system”. The alleged burglary took place in mid-May in the eastern Ohio town of Martins Ferry, and the allegations against Carpenter and Dojack surfaced a week later.
