Tammy Bruce: Babe News Anchor Punches Cop

Babe News Anchor Punches Cop

Alycia Lane. Just watch out for the right hook.

Sends cop to hospital. Which may get babe sent to jail. Babe then wishes she watched more "Bad Girls" when she had the chance.

News anchor busted for punching cop

An Emmy-winning news anchor from Philadelphia is in hot water for punching a police officer here in New York, officials said.

Alycia Lane, a Long Island native who co-anchors the nightly news for a local station in the City of Brotherly Love, was arrested for hitting a female police officer in the face early this morning in Manhattan, and charged with assaulting a police officer...

Earlier this year, 35-year-old Lane made headlines when she e-mailed photos of herself clad in a revealing bikini to NFL Network anchor Rich Eisen. The images were discovered by Eisen's wife, but Lane insisted the pictures were only meant as a good-humored joke.

I don't think she'll be going where Martha went. But those pics might get her a few more smokes.

The Tiny Gay Squirrel says: "Wow, two Babe posts in a row. It's good to move past Huckanut rage (for a moment) to things that are really important...like Babes."

UPDATE:

Apparently Alycia used a derogatory phrase against the woman cop that a) could also be used in prison, and b) get her sent to the hospital, just after she becomes everyone's wife. For at least an hour.

Philadelphia News Anchor Alycia Lane Calls Officer 'Dyke', Lands in Jail

Alycia Lane, the evening news anchor on CBS affiliate KYW-TV in Philadelphia, was arrested on early Sunday morning in Manhattan after an altercation with a female police officer, according to the New York Times. Lane and her boyfriend Chris Booker, and another unidentified couple were reportedly traveling in a taxi through Manhattan and became upset over a slow vehicle blocking their way. Philly.com reports Lane confronted the passengers of the slow vehicle, which happened to be a group of police officers in plainclothes. [Oops.]

When one of the officers asked Lane, who was taking photos with her iPhone, to step back, the news anchor reportedly began verbally assaulting the officer. According to Philadelphia Weekly, Lane screamed at the officer, saying "I don't give a f*ck who you are, I am a reporter you f*cking dyke." Lane then punched the female officer in the face, according to the Associated Press, resulting in several lacerations and swelling. The officer was treated at a local hospital and released.

This is an odd story all around. First, Rich Eisen?! I don't think "babe magnet"when I see him on T.V. I bet his wife made him pay big time for those pics.

I agree about "Bad Girls", Tammy. Maybe Santa will put Seasons 1-3 under her tree. A girl needs to do her research, after all.

as my old sergeant once said "we don't get paid to be punching bags"- hopefully, the cop knocked her teeth out.

I'm curious because it doesn't mention WHY she punched the cop. Granted, you just don't pop a cop. Period. It's "yes, sir, will comply, sir". Period. But, I'm still curious, why she did it. And it was a lady cop? Yes, it's a VERY odd story. She's humma-humma gorgeous. Would think she's got more smarts than that. What aren't they telling us?

Floyd R Turbo,
Go to the Drudge report and you will get the full account of the situaton leading up to the incident. Looks to me like another case of an ego getting in the way of common sense.

Too bad that kind of "babe" doesn't come with a warning label.

Yup. Sounds like she got what she asked for. Yup, entitlement class, indeed. Got knocked down a few pegs!

Alycia is a major babe and it truly distresses me when hot women do stupid things. If she manages to avoid wearing the orange jumpsuit, she should relocate. I vote for more brunettes on L.A. T.V. I'd expediate my own L.A. relocation plans for that. ;)

ILLUMINATING HYPOCRISY:
How many times have you heard a Newsy condemn the cops for "Brutality" after they subdued a combative prisoner?
How many times have you heard them label any derogatory remark, by anyone outside the media, regarding Gays as "Hate Speech"?

Punch someone in plainclothes and most likely it's only a misdemeanor. At least here in Florida, to prove Battery on a Law-Enforcement Officer, the State would have to show the defendant knew the victim was a cop, and I imagine the law in NY isn't all that different on that point.

Anyone see the photo of her on the NY Post yesterday without makeup? Boy, it's amazing what they can do with Plaster of Paris and a trowel!
