Bedford County Widow Sued

A Bedford County widow is being sued for trying to keep Columbia Gas Transmission off her property.

The Texas-based company is using eminent domain to gain access to 67-year-old Mary Ellen McConnell's 125-acre farm.

They want to do seismic tests to see if they can store natural gas under her land.

While others in the area have granted the gas company access, McConnell refuses.

"If the federal marshals want Mary Ellen, they're going to have to come with their pink cuff links and take me away," she said.

McConnell heads to court July 20 in Johnstown.
