The estranged wife of the publisher of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review was arrested Friday and charged with defiant trespass after refusing to leave her husband's Shadyside residence.
Pittsburgh police said they were called to the home of Richard Mellon Scaife, at 5201 Westminster Place, at about 7 p.m. Friday. Mr. Scaife called police because his wife, Ritchie Scaife, was pounding on doors and peeking in windows.
When police arrived, Mrs. Scaife, who was in the back yard, was told to leave. She did, but only for about 15 minutes, police said. When she returned, she refused officers' orders to leave and was arrested. She was charged with defiant trespass and released on her own recognizance.
A hearing is scheduled for Thursday.

Richard Mellon Scaife is one of the big players in the RNC, the 'man behind the man', so to say. Pick a Republican sticking point against President Clinton and Mellon Scaife's money was probably behind it, even 'allegedly' paying for Paula Jones to have a nose job at the height of Ken Star's investigation to make her look more attractive and paying for Linda Tripp to come forward. Richard Mellon Scaife was the deep pockets behind the Ken Starr investigation..
Scaife's own newspaper, The Pittsburgh Tribune Review bugged Theresa Kerry so often during the 04 campaign, she finally had to tell them to 'stuff it', and of course, this was used to attack Kerry by the right-wing echo chamber. Scaife funded the magazine - The American Spectator, as a vehicle to attack President Clinton. Scaife also funded Newsmax.
Scaife like to stay behind the scene, so I thought this alone was worthy of a thread.
