Jail calls lead to Pa. mom, grandma's arrests

WAYNESBURG, Pa. - June 30, 2011

Online court records don't list attorneys for 50-year-old Belinda Buskirk and 71-year-old Rose Buskirk. They face a July 6 preliminary hearing on obstructing law enforcement and other charges based on phone calls made by 26-year-old Christopher Buskirk, of Mather, from the Greene County Jail. All calls at the jail are recorded and police say Christopher Buskirk was heard telling the women to hide items which he alleged stole from the First Baptist Church of Waynesburg in April.

The Observer-Reporter newspaper says the women were charged after police found stolen items hidden under a porch of the home all three share.

The defendants don't have a listed phone.
