Ageing supermodel Naomi Campbell has been charged with 5 offences after allegedly assaulting a police officer at Heathrow Airport, her lawyer confirmed today.
Ms Campbell, 38, was taken off a British Airways plane by officers on April 3 after she boarded a flight to Los Angeles and was told before takeoff that one of her bags was missing. It was reported that the bag contained clothes that she was being paid to wear. She was going to the US to attend a funeral.
She is charged with five offences - 3 counts of assaulting a constable, 1 of disorderly conduct likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress and 1 of using threatening or abusive words or behaviour to cabin crew.
Ms Campbell will appear in court in west London on June 20, her lawyer Simon Nicholls said, after she answered bail at Heathrow's police station. If found guilty, she could face up to six months in prison and / or a fine of several thousand pounds. |
