http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06237/716287-53.stm This is not the Scaife rag.

Assault and trespass charges against the estranged wife of newspaper publisher Richard Mellon Scaife have been dismissed.

<snip to get to the juicy stuff of Mrs. Scaife trying to get her dog Beauregard back.>

Mr. DelGreco said Mrs. Scaife had the dog from Dec. 23 to March 23, when it was taken.

Police said Mrs. Scaife punched and pulled the hair of Mr. Scaife's maid, Sue Patterson, who was walking the dog.

A security guard, Dennis Bradshaw, said he went to Mrs. Patterson's aid and was slapped. The blow knocked off his eyeglasses and broke them, he said.

Genevieve Still, Mr. Scaife's 77-year-old secretary, said the dog had then gotten loose. As she went to retrieve the animal, she said, Mrs. Scaife pushed her to the ground and kicked her.
