disagreement, the child's Mother, Ms. Hockenberry, elected to discontinue all contact from

the existing Order due to the following:
10.

that she prostitutes her body to gain drugs and money. There are
warrants out for her arrest for breaking the law with regard to disorderly
conduct, underage drinking, and tax evasion.
Respondent, JUDY HOCKENBERRY neglects the minor child. She
does not keep him properly clothed or fed. She is constantly dropping him
off with different people to take care of him. The minor Child had flea
bites all over his body and he was filthy. Further, he was not taken for his
doctor appointments and missed his inoculations.
C. Respondent, JUDY HOCKENBERRY cannot take care of minor child.
She is to be evicted in two days from her apartment and has no relatives
who are willing or able to take her in. She has no job and cannot support
herself. Further, she has not been able to keep a job.
D. Petitioner is the Paternal Grandmother of minor and loves him very much.

modify the existing Custody Order and grant primary physical custody &the minor child to
Petitioner and grant appropriate periods of partial physical custody to Respondents, JUDY

EMERGENCY PETITION FOR CUSTODY
AND NOW comes Petitioner, BARBARA A. PUGH, by and through counsel, Sanford
A. Krevsky, Esquire and offers the following averments in support of the within Emergency
Petition for Custody:
°
°
°
°
Petitioner, BARBARA A. PUGH, is the
of the minor child, SPENCER RYAN WEIGLE ("Child") (DOB 10/27/01).
Petitioner, BARBARA A. PUGH, currently resides at 5470 Union Deposit Road,
Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania 17111
Respondent, JUDY HOCKENBERRY is the natural mother of aforesaid minor
Child.
Respondent, JUDY HOCKENBERRY currently resides at 108 E. Penn Street,
Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17013.
Respondent, RYAN L. WEIGLE is the natural father of aforesaid minor Child.
Respondent, RYAN L. WEIGLE currently incarcerated at the Cumberland
County Prison.
Respondents, JUDY HOCKENBERRY and RYAN L. WEIGLE have never
been married.
There is currently an existing Order of Court under said Docket Number which
was entered on June 3, 2002 by The Honorable Kevin A. Hess giving Petitioner,
BARBARA A. PUGH, partial physical custody of said Child. The Order
directs that Petitioner shall have periods of visitation over every weekend
(Exhibit A).
10.
11.
12.
13.
14.
15.
As of the filing of this petition, Child is at the home of Petitioner who does not
want to remm Child to Respondent, JUDY HOCKENBERRY for fear of Child's
safety.
Respondent, RYAN L. WEIGLE, concurs with this request as he is currently
incarcerated and unavailable to provide care for said Child.
For much of the past year, Child was living with Respondent, JUDY
HOCKENBERRY (although Child lived with Father when he was not
incarcerated.). Due to Respondent, JUDY HOCKENBERRY'S chaotic lifestyle,
Petitioner has taken care of Child for most weekends and on numerous other
occasions.
Respondent, JUDY HOCKENBERRY, currently has warrants out for her arrest
by the Cun~berland County Police Department, for disorderly conduct, underage
drinking, not paying her taxes, and for not filling out paperwork with regard to a
separate incident.
Respondent, JUDY HOCKENBERRY, is a drug abuser and is addicted to
crack cocaine and marijuana. This is confirmed by Father, and by admissions
made by Respondent to Petitioner and to Respondent's aunt, Sheila Burd.
Petitioner has also heard this from numerous sources.
Respondent, JUDY HOCKENBERRY, told Petitioner that she kept marijuana
with Child's diaper wipes. Respondent, JUDY HOCKENBERRY, also told
Petitioner that she (Respondent, JUDY HOCKENBERRY) had been approached
to buy drugs for a friend (because she knew where to buy them from.)
Respondent, JUDY HOCKENBERRY, is also an alcohol abuser, despite not
being of requisite age to drink. This is confim~ed by admissions from Respondent,
JUDY HOCKENBERRY to Petitioner, by Father, and by Randy Weigle, Child's
paternal grandfather.
Respondent, JUDY HOCKENBERRY is suspected of possibly prostituting
herself for drugs and money. This will be confirmed by Sheila Burd, Respondent,
JUDY HOCKENBERRY'S aunt, who saw her exiting motel rooms with
different men numerous times and by the fact that Respondent, JUDY
HOCKENBERRY left Child with Petitioner so Respondent, JUDY
HOCKENBERRY, could "take a trip" with a truck driver for a few days.
Respondent, JUDY HOCKENBERRY is unemployed and has not been able to
hold a job. She is unable to support herself or said Child. She was fired from her
last job for stealing (although no charges were pressed.). Further, she has made
no effort to get help such as food stamps.

Respondent, JUDY HOCKENBERRY, is three months late and over $900 in
debt to her landlord and is due to be evicted Friday, October 18, 2002 (two days
from the date of this petition.)
Respondent, JUDY HOCKENBERRY, has had the gas turned off two months
ago, has no telephone, and the electricity is due to be turned off October 21
2002.
During the past year, Respondent, JUDY HOCKENBERRY has lived at
numerous locations including her mother's trailer (who has since been evicted
and is leaving the State), her father's house, who has also been evicted and has
been living in a one room apartment with his thirteen year old son, and her aunt's
house. It was only a few months ago (around June, 2002) that she got her own
apartment. None o£her relatives are willing or able to take her and Child in.
Child has been neglected by Respondent, JUDY HOCKENBERRY Said
Child has been ..filthy, his clothes do not fit, (according to Respondent
HOCKENBERRY cannot afford to buy him new clothes), he has had flea bites
all over his body, and he has .not been taken to doctor for his regular appointments
and inoculations. "
Respondent, JUDY HOCKENBERRY, has been seen out at with Child late
into the morning including 4:00 a.m. Child constantly wakes up at 2:00 a.m. and
does not sleep the night. Respondent, JUDY HOCKENBERRY, has also been
seen with groups of strange men in the apartment early in the morning.
Respondent, JUDY HOCKENBERRY, fraternizes with people who abuse drugs
and alcohol and who violate the law. Her former boyfriend is currently
incarcerated for breaking into her apartment and shattering the window, causing
glass to fly all over the apartment.
It is believed that Respondent, JUDY HOCKENBERRY is psychologically
unstable. She is known to be violent and unpredictable. Petitioner has also heard
that Petitioner has been violent with Child, specifically, shaking him.
Petitio.,ne,r, has li.v.e,d, in ..central Pennsylvania for more than ~en._~.gg__.gL.yg~. She
currenuy rives w~m her husband, Richard Pugh, in a three bedroom home on
Union Deposit Road.
Petitioner had been steadily employed as a book-keeper at NRG Energy on N. 10
Street in Harrisburg for 8 years. She has recently decided change careers and is
attending school full time to be a medical assistant.
Petitioner's husband been employed by NRG Energy for 10 years as a
mechanic.
26.
27.
Although plaimiff is Child's paternal Grandmother, she is only forty years of age
and is perfectly capable of raising a child with her husband. Further, Child enjoys
being with and being held by Petitioner and has bonded with Petitioner.
Petitioner is prepared and able to provide Child with a loving, stable
environment where he has two loving custodians, proper clothes, sleeping
accommodations, nutritious meals, regular schooling, proper hygiene and proper
structure; all things Child currently lacks when he is with Respondent.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner asks Your Honorable Court to grant Petitioner, BARBARA
A. PUGH, legal and physical custody of the minor children on an emergency basis pending
further action.

does not keep him properly clothed or fed. She is constantly dropping him
offwith different people to take care of him. The minor Child had flea
bites all over his body and he was filthy. Further, he was not taken for his
doctor appointments and missed his inoculations.

who are willing or able to take her in. She has no job and cannot support
