And she was complaining that her sister wouldn't LEAVE? Called cops for help, knowing she had outstanding warrants of her own, pending?[shaking head] :~)

A North Huntingdon woman is accused of taking the prosthetic leg of her older sister and beating her on the head with it at their township home.
Donna Sturkie-Anthony, 41, of 13489 Route 30, Lincoln Mobile Home Trailer Park, is charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and harassment for allegedly striking her 43-year-old sister, Sherrie Lynn Gibson, in the head and face several times early Wednesday morning.

A township police dispatcher received a request for an ambulance at the suspect's mobile home at 12:36 a.m. Wednesday, but the caller refused to describe the emergency, according to the criminal complaint.

Police said they found Sturkie-Anthony standing outside the home complaining about her sister and asking police to remove her. Sturkie-Anthony gave police permission to enter the mobile home. Police said they found blood on the floor and around a couch where Gibson was lying, still conscious and bleeding from wounds on her head and face.

Gibson told police her sister had beaten her with her prosthetic leg, and police said Sturkie-Anthony then repeatedly admitted doing so.
Police said Gibson was taken to Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh for treatment. A hospital spokesman said Friday there was no information about Gibson's condition because she may already have been released.

Sturkie-Anthony was taken to the township police station and then transported by sheriff's deputies to Westmoreland County Prison on previous warrants. She was jailed in lieu of $50,000 bail and faces a preliminary hearing before District Judge Douglas Weimer on Jan. 25.
