A prosecutor says the woman who carried twins for Hollywood couple Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick is expected to testify at the trial of an Ohio police chief accused of stealing from her home. 

Barry Carpenter is suspended as chief in Martins Ferry, the Ohio town where surrogate Michelle Ross lived. Carpenter and Police Chief Chad Dojack from nearby Bridgeport are accused of scheming to sell items from the woman's home to celebrity photographers, WTRF-TV reports.

Special Prosecutor T. Shawn Hervey says two photographers are also slated to testify.

Jury selection began on Monday in Carpenter's trial on multiple felonies, including burglary.

Dojack's trial is set for January. Both men have pleaded not guilty.

Carpenter could face 21 1/2 years in prison if convicted on all charges.
