NORTH HUNTINGDON, Pa. -- A former Norwin homecoming queen accused of attacking her sister with a prosthetic leg and threatening to burn down a neighbor's trailer was ordered on Wednesday to go to rehab.

Donna Sturkie-Anthony showed up for her preliminary hearing before District Judge Douglas Weimer, but the 41-year-old woman's hearing was continued so she can go to Greenbriar Treatment Center.

Police said Sturkie-Anthony's sister came to visit her at Lincoln Mobile Home Park on Route 30 in January, and the two started arguing about her alcohol abuse. Then, police said Sturkie-Anthony pulled off her sister's prosthetic leg and beat her with it.

In that case, Sturkie-Anthony was charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and harassment.

About three weeks later, police said, Anthony stole her neighbor's telephone and then threatened to burn down their trailer if they testified against her.

She faces charges of intimidation of witnesses or victims and terroristic threats in the case involving her neighbors.

"The police, they call for backup when they come up here to deal with her," said another neighbor, who asked not to be identified. "They know who she is."

Sturkie-Anthony was being held without bond in the Westmoreland County Prison. Police said it's because she is a danger to others and herself.

[Hegemony Cricket]

Nothing like getting beaten in a trailer with your own prosthetic leg ping

[Hegemony Cricket]

Whoops, meant that ping for you :-)

[Loyalist]

Everything after the first sentence of this story is superfluous.

She’s 41 and she’s still trading on the fact that she was homecoming queen! How long ago was that? She never did anything else more important? Good grief!

[freedomlover]

If you look at the slide show noted above she wasnt exactly beautiful then either.

No comment re the available pool at that school . . .

[NonValueAdded]

“Is there anything rehab can’t do?” /HomerSimpson

[freedomlover]

Who knows if she trades on that . . could be just media tweaking . Take the homecoming angle out and its just another drunk in a trailer.

[martin_fierro]

Take the homecoming angle out and its just another drunk in a trailer.

Yeah dat.

If you've seen one Drunk-In-A-Trailer-Beating-Sister-With-Prosthetic-Limb story, you've seen 'em all.

[John123]

If you look at the slide show noted above she wasnt exactly beautiful then either.

Thanks but no thanks. I don't feel like watching her slide show. And besides, she may have been beautiful inside! :)

[tioga]

mmm, guilty or not? LOL

[Daffynition]

Back at the North Pole ...

There’s a CW song in here somewhere.

[Hatteras]

Homecoming Queen? She's 41. That was high school, 23+ years ago.

Homecoming Queen? Mr. Headline Writer Dude... Let it go.

This is the queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Sometimes shes runs and I've got to trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck...

[ravingnutter]

My ex-husband’s grandmother used to take her prosthetic leg off and threaten to beat the kids with it. She was one mean senile old bat, LOL!

[LilAngel]

She’s 41, and her sister still calls her lazy. All the folks ‘round Huntingdon calls her crazy.

Cause she walks around the trailer park with a fake leg in her hands.

Talking on a mysterious neighbor’s phone.

Delta Donna, what’s that hair do you have on?

Could it be a faded style from years gone by?

And did I hear you say, you’d be buyin’ fuel today,

To burn your neighbor’s trailer to the ground?

[Caramelgal]

There’s a CW song in here somewhere.

“I Used To Love You But Then I Caught You Cheat’n; Then I Beat My Sister With Her Prosthetic Leg While Burnin’ Down The Trailer Park; I’d Cry I’m My Beer And Find A Freind In My Hound Dog, But The Damn Dog Died In The Fire And Now I’m Off To Rehab, So Why Don’t You Love Me Any More?”

[andy58-in-nh]

There’s a CW song in here somewhere.

"I hear that train a-coming'
My chance for freedom's slim,
Cause that night I beat my sister
With her own prosthetic limb
I know'd I shoud'na been drinkin'
And now I'm sad and blue
Wishin' I was back in our double-wide
Doin' hard time with you..."

ha good point

[cjshapi]

Here’s one you might enjoy...

[Tax-chick]

I love that song. It’s so country.

Well, a few nights later I run into her
With some stranger on a park bench.
She says he rebuilds engines and his name is Earl.
He’s the Charlie Daniels of the torque wrench.
I whispered, “Honey, let’s just go on home,
And have some onion rings and watch TV.”

[Lazamataz]

Guilty.

Fugilty.

Ex-Homecoming Queen Accused Of Beating Sister With Leg In Trailer Sent To Rehab

Why did they send the trailer to rehab?

[LilAngel]

Cuz they was runnin’ outta room. Fast.

[Caramelgal]

Why did they send the trailer to rehab?

LOL. But did you see a picture of that trailer? Looks like it needs some rehab to me.

[cjshapi]

Good question. I thought she beat her in the trailer with the leg. I don’t know about you but my trailer aches for days when it gets beat.

[bert]

Donna Sturkie? Donna Sturkie...... did she serve in Viet nam?...No that was kerry.

Oh yeah... she was home coming queen.

[MarineBrat]

Sung to the tune of “Stuck in Folsom Prison” those words are perfect!

Now if you could work in a reference to FR, and the word GUITLY.... :)

[Lazamataz]

I don’t know about you but my trailer aches for days when it gets beat.

I recall offering to beat the BRAKES off your trailer.

I also recall being turned down.

:^(

[Cagey]

ROFLMAO!! That’s great.

[Cagey]

I know it's not totally related to the story, but it is funny!

[cjshapi]

Damn, I walked right into that one.

Hope all is well with you!

[Mr. Jeeves]

Friday kind of Burgh thing.

Are these are the kind of Pennsylvania Hillary voters that Obama is having so much trouble winning over? ;)

[Daffynition]

Did you ever wake up one morning and think ..."If I had just one more, I'd have a set of bocce balls?"

[LilAngel]

Thanks! I didn’t think anybody remembered Delta Dawn.

[Cagey]

I heard someone describe Pennsylvania as “Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and everything in between is Alabama”. There’s a lot of truth in that.

[Old Professer]

Getting beat with your own wooden leg is getting close to the final insult.
