Naomi Campbell pleads guilty to three counts of assault
Posted on June 20th, 2008 by Hot Momma
Supermodel and fiery tempered Naomi Campbell has pleaded guilty to assaulting a police officer at London Heathrow airport in April after flying into an uncontrollable rage.
The 37-year-old was detained at the airport in April after a disturbance broke out between the model and airline staff when she was informed that one of her bags had been lost. At one point Campbell ordered the captain to get off the plane and look for her suitcase, holding up the flight bound for Los Angeles for almost an hour.
As a result of the row, police were called and Campbell was arrested, handcuffed and led off the plane, before being later released on bail.
Campbell appeared at Uxbridge magistrate’s court today to answer the charges, she pleaded guilty to three counts of assaulting a police officer.
Campbell was also charged with disorderly conduct likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress and one count of threatening or abusive behavior towards a cabin crew member after answering bail at Heathrow police station on Thursday May 29th.
Campbell could be jailed for up to six months and/or fined up to $10,000 for each of the three counts of assault.
Campbell was reportedly banned from flying with British Airways (BA) after the airport scuffle, though her spokeswoman said at the time it was hoped the dispute could be “resolved amicably”.
Last year Ms Campbell was sentenced to community service in New York after being convicted of assault.
As punishment for throwing a mobile phone at her maid the model was made to clean toilets and sweep floors for five days.
Last Monday witnesses saw Campbell go into a rage for unknown reasons outside of London’s Cipriani restaurant before she was restrained by friends and driven away.
