BREAKING NEWS: Model Naomi Campbell Charged With Assaulting Police Officer

Naomi Campbell has been charged with assaulting a police officer at London's Heathrow Airport, her lawyer told BBC News Thursday.

She has also been charged with one count of disorderly conduct and one count of using threatening, abusive words or behavior towards cabin crew.

The model, 37, was arrested in April aboard a British Airways flight when she threw a fit after three of her carry-on bags came up missing.

"Miss Campbell is bitterly disappointed that the prosecutors have advised her she is to be prosecuted for various offences," her lawyer said in a statement after she answered bail at a London police station Thursday.

"She respects that decision and she hopes this matter is dealt with expeditiously," he said.

She is due in court June 20.

Last year, Campbell was ordered to spend a week mopping floors at a NYC warehouse for assaulting her maid with a cell phone.
