Naomi Campbell charged with assaulting a police officer
Naomi Campbell should be locked up in a rubber room until further notice- either that, or sent into the mountains of Afghanistan to scare terrorists. The irrelevant British model was arrested in April at Heathrow airport after she threw a fit when her bags wound up lost. She got physical with a security officer and was taken into custody. No word on whether her cell phone was confiscated as a weapon of mass destruction. She was officially charged this morning with assaulting two police officers for that incident and must report to court on June 20 to face charges.

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, 38, was arrested in April aboard a British Airways flight when she threw a fit after 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.

What is this bitch’s problem? Look, we all know how much flying sucks. There’s the nightmare that is airport security, the endless flight delays, and the knowledge that your luggage is probably headed to Fiji while you are in Cleveland. But that doesn’t justify acting like a stark-raving lunatic and putting your hands on a cop! What’s so special about her that she gets to act like this? I’m glad she got charged - but I’d like to see her get in a lot more trouble this time. Someone needs to commit this hag before she really hurts someone. Just tell her that the padded room is a trendy new nightclub and the straightjacket is from the new Calvin Klein summer collection. Then throw away the key.

Note by Celebitchy: Naomi’s assault charges carries “a maximum sentence of six months in prison and/or a fine of up to $10,000,” according to the Associated Press. Hopefully the judge will take her prior record into consideration and throw the book at her - hard.

Naomi Campbell is shown at Cannes on 5/21/08, thanks to WENN.
