Naomi Campbell Sentenced

By: Shannon Gossage

Campbell, 38, appeared at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court in West London on Friday to face six charges stemming from an "air rage" incident at London’s Heathrow Airport in April. She faced up to six months in jail and a fine if she had been convicted on all six counts. She reportedly entered guilty pleas to four of the six charges including two counts of assaulting a police officer; one count of using threatening, abusive words or behavior to cabin crew; and one count of using insulting, abusive, threatening behavior or disorderly conduct likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress. In addition to the 200 community service hours, Campbell was ordered to pay a $4,500 fine, $400 to each of the police officers she assaulted, and $300 to Miles Sutherland, the captain of the plane she disrupted.

C.P.S. director Nazir Afzal released a statement that read, "Ms. Campbell was aggressive, hostile and violent to people who were simply trying to do their jobs. Her behavior fell far short of what is acceptable." Campbell’s spokesman, Alan Edwards, said after the hearing, that she "regretted" the incident and that she was "very, very relived" the incident was over.

This is not the first time Campbell has been accused of assault. Last year she was sentenced to community service in New York City after she admitted to "reckless assault" for throwing her cell phone at a former housekeeper. At another time, a former employee f Campbell’s claimed the supermodel had thrown a phone at her head and threatened to throw her out of a car. Campbell agreed to take "anger management classes" after that incident.
