WHY HASNT she been put in prison for assult? i just dont get it!
Another 200 hours community service ffs!
supermodel Naomi Campbell was ordered to perform 200 hours of community service after she pleaded guilty in a London court to assaulting two police officers in a dispute on a plane at Heathrow airport.
Campbell was also fined 2,945 pounds ($4,604) at today's hearing at Uxbridge Magistrates Court. She admitted to four charges in connection with the incident and the Crown Prosecution Service agreed to drop two others, a spokeswoman for the agency said in a telephone interview.
The 38-year-old acknowledged two charges of assault on a police officer during the incident on a British Airways Plc plane. She also pleaded guilty to one count of using threatening language toward the crew and a charge of disorderly conduct likely to cause harassment, the CPS said.
``Your actions were reckless,'' Peter Yiacoumi, chairman of the magistrates at Uxbridge Court, told the model, who wore a plain black skirt suit and caused a commotion among photographers when she entered the court.
``I think she is just tired and relieved,'' Alan Edwards, Campbell's publicist, told reporters after the sentencing. Campbell left the court without comment.
Campbell, who was traveling to Los Angeles, was among passengers caught up in the chaos that marked Terminal 5's first 12 days of operation. Problems with the baggage-handling system and employee familiarization forced British Airways to cancel more than 600 flights after the building opened on March 27.
Campbell Abusive
After passengers on her flight were told the plane would depart without some of their bags, Campbell asked the cabin crew to determine whether her luggage was aboard. Campbell became abusive when the captain went into the first class cabin to tell her that one of her bags was missing, the CPS spokeswoman said.
The model then began shouting into her mobile phone, demanding that the person she was calling get her another flight, contact the media and call her lawyer, according to the spokeswoman. Campbell then told the captain, who was trying to calm her, to get off the plane, find her bag and bring it to her.
Campbell was eventually asked to leave the aircraft and, when she refused to, the police were called, the spokeswoman said. A police officer approached her and she used an expletive before shouting, ``I paid 5,000 pounds for this seat, I've got the right to be on this plane,'' according to the CPS.
When the officer reached to take hold of her to remove her from the plane, she hit him twice on the forearm with her phone and screamed in his face, the spokeswoman said.
Policemen Kicked
A second police officer came to assist. Campbell, who was wearing platform boots with stiletto heels, kicked him in the thigh close to his groin, the prosecution said. In the ensuing struggle she kicked the first policeman in the right shin and the left thigh and spat at him, the CPS spokeswoman said.
Campbell accused the officers of being racist and continued to shout abuse as she was taken from the aircraft, prosecutors said. She kicked the side of a police van brought to take her away and abused a woman officer who searched her.
``You can't arrest me. I want my luggage,'' the CPS cited her as saying. ``It's just because I'm black and famous.''
Assaulting an officer carries a maximum sentence of six months in prison and a possible fine of 5,000 pounds ($9,887). The charge of using threatening language may be punished with a maximum fine of 2,500 pounds, while a conviction for disorderly conduct carries a fine of as much as 1,000 pounds.
Campbell was ordered to attend anger-management class and perform five days of community service in January 2007 after she pleaded guilty in a New York court to assaulting her maid by throwing a mobile phone at her.
