Prosecutor Drops 'Surrogate Snooping' Case

ST. CLAIRSVILLE, Ohio (AP) -- A prosecutor has dropped a case connected to two Ohio police chiefs who were accused of snooping on the woman who bore twins for Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick.

Special prosecutor Shawn Hervey said Friday he prefers to have Bruce Callarik testify in the other men's upcoming trials.

All three were charged with a scheme to steal items from the surrogate's eastern Ohio home and sell them to paparazzi.

Callarik had previously pleaded not guilty to complicity to receiving stolen property. His lawyer says he will testify truthfully but not necessarily for or against anyone.
