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.

Her case doesn’t have a leg to stand on. Sorry, first of the day.
Nothing like getting beaten in a trailer with your own prosthetic leg ping
Whoops, meant that ping for you :-)
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!
If you look at the slide show noted above she wasnt exactly beautiful then either.
No comment re the available pool at that school . . .
