Naomi Campbell Arrested At Heathrow For Assaulting An Officer

LONDON — Naomi Campbell was arrested at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 on Thursday for allegedly spitting at a police officer, Sky News reported.

Police said a 37-year-old woman was arrested at the terminal on suspicion of assaulting police. The Metropolitan Police spokesman refused to identify the woman, or say whether the incident took place inside the terminal or aboard a plane. He spoke on condition of anonymity, in line with police policy.

BAA PLC, the company that runs Heathrow, didn't immediately return calls seeking comment. British Airways PLC, the terminal's sole occupant, referred questions to BAA and London police.

Campbell's publicist in Los Angeles, Jeff Raymond, wrote in an e-mail that Campbell was flying to Los Angeles for a Thursday memorial service. He said she checked two bags in at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 with plenty of time to spare and was told they would make the flight. He said once on the plane, however, Campbell was told one of her bags was missing.

Raymond said British Airways decided to resolve the situation by insisting Campbell leave the flight, and then called police to forcibly eject her from the airplane.

"So far as we are aware B.A. have still failed to offer any explanation as to why her bag went missing at Terminal 5," Raymond wrote.

In January 2007, Campbell pleaded guilty in New York City to misdemeanor assault for throwing her cell phone at her maid in a dispute over a missing pair of jeans. She was ordered to do community service and attend a two-day anger-management program.

Campbell pleaded guilty in Toronto in 2000 to an assault charge for beating an assistant while making a film in Canada in 1998. Under an agreement with prosecutors, Campbell expressed remorse and was released without punishment or a criminal record.

I am offering the next six months of my life to assist Naomi in her battle with anger management. Trust me....she'll be a kitten by the time we're done. Granted, I'll probably have claw marks by the end but I'm willing to sidestep a few phones to help mankind save a supermodel.

[samuraijack]

And Paris goes to jail? She didn't hit anyone. There is some irony here.

[Kalima]

The term Prima donna was invented with her in mind.

[BARRISTER]

Naomi, come spend a month with me. i will make you more relaxed, and loving. Be wise, come

renew your womanhood!!

[planetfotheApes]

You people just love the police state. The elite use the phony war on terror to destroy civil liberties. They place these uneducated thugs called police everywhere. They spy on us, they torture us (Jose Padilla), they remove Hapeus Corpus and attack innocent countries and you just love it.

We are living in Orwell's 1984 right now. Read the book and you people will know exactly what group you belong to.

"hapeus corpus"? That's classic.....

[ResidentChimp]

No problem, the number one world champion telephone tosser (Russel Crowe came in a close second), can have her buddy Chavez bail her out.

[auramac]

Pickin' up where Zza Zza left off... Maybe she needs to attend Mel Gibson's group therapy class...

[aznurse]

She does make a good soup

[GodisHateSpeech]

If she were a white CEO this wouldn't be a story.

[ResidentChimp]

Must be another frank discussion about race from an Obama supporter.

[woundedduck]

There's no other way to say it: that bitch is CRAZY!

[GodisHateSpeech]

I bet she's AWESOME in the sack!

[samuraijack]

Anyone else would be in jail after this. I guess since she got a slap on the wrist after whacking a couple of defenseless maids with cell phones she felt kinda frisky! The officer in question should have subdued her, but good.

[Sardonica]

Poor Naomi. Twice in the past she's been been forced to throw jewel-encrusted cell phones at her maids and underlings and now she's reduced to spitting on people at the airport. How painful it must be for her to go through life and have to constantly see other people blatantly walking around doing stuff within plain sight of her, and breathing air that rightfully belongs to her and her alone!. The nerve of other human beings to feel so entitled to just take up space. Oh, will the suffering of this poor supermodel NEVER cease?!? Pray for her.

[AdultFilmLegend]

I thought she was older than 37.

[mojaveblue]

It's time to put this woman in one of those Dunk The Witch carnival games .

[DrTeeth]

Damn! Kinda going medieval her ass!
Ya know what you don't see anymore? A good, sturdy stake with a lot of flammable material under it.

[mojaveblue]

Yeah, sounds to medieval. I was thinking of those carnival games where you pitch a ball to dunk a participant in the water tank. Each of Naomi's victims could have a chance to dunk her. My choice of words not good. Should be dunk the *itch.

[TXfemmom]

This woman needs to go to jail, and be put on the detail to clean the toilets with tooth brushes. A couple of months of that, and she would learn to manage her temper.

[ME08]

Hey, if Paris can do time...this mannequin can be behind bars and see how long that temper lasts with those other gals in the pokee...they'll straighten her out in no time...it will be the LAST time she hits anybody.

[GodisHateSpeech]

Bet you'd be crying the second they lock the door.

[Harrier]

You don't abuse our police. We hire them to protect us from harm. and put people like her behind bars. What a loser!
