Yet another jerk of the year nominee
Honestly, I thought Bobby “Big Man in the Green Zone” Calvan had the Jerk of the Year award all wrapped up. But there’s a late entry in the contest. She’s a Philadelphia anchorwoman charged with punching a NYC cop over the weekend. Via Philly Gossip:
And the big story on Eyewitness News is that CBS 3 anchor Alycia Lane is currently locked up in a New York jail cell after being arrested early this morning for allegedly punching a female police officer in the face.
Daily News reporter Regina Medina is reporting exclusively that Lane, 35, was arrested at 2:04 a.m. today at the corner of W. 17th Street and 9th Avenue and later charged with one count of assault witih intent to cause physical injury to an officer, said NYPD spokesman Sgt. Carlos Nieves. The 10th Precinct officer suffered lacerations to her face, Nieves said. Lane was also accompanied by an unidentified male, according to the NYPD report.
The NYPost has a follow-up this morning:
A foxy Philly anchorwoman – who once e-mailed sexy swimsuit snaps to a married TV talking head – became an anger woman today, calling a female cop a “dyke bitch” and slugging her in the face, law-enforcement sources said. The bizarro incident occurred when Alycia Lane, an Emmy Award-winning anchor for KYW-TV in Philadelphia, was riding in a cab with hunky radio DJ boyfriend Chris Booker and another couple when their taxi was stalled behind a slow-moving, unmarked police car, sources said…
…The petite, twice-divorced Lane, 35, then also got out of the cab and began snapping photos, getting right up into the face of the male cop doing most of the grilling, the sources said.
One of the three cops, a woman, told the TV anchor to back away, saying, “You can take pictures, but you have to step back,” the sources said.
That’s when Lane went nuts, shouting, “I don’t care that you’re a cop – dyke bitch!” the sources said.
Then she walloped the officer in the face, the sources said.
Lane – whose lawyer claimed she didn’t know the three were cops – was busted and taken to the 10th Precinct station house, where she was charged with assault.
Crying so hard that her makeup ran down her face, Lane was later taken to central booking for her arraignment last night.
The usually impeccably primped Lane, whose red-rimmed eyes were a sharp contrast to her sleek, black jacket and pants, was released on her own recognizance.
Then she shared a 30-second hug with a male pal.
Lane’s Madison Avenue lawyer, David Smith, said his client “absolutely never hit or made any derogatory comments to anyone.”

Her mother must be so proud.
If you bite your lip, tear up and say your sorry, isn’t that good enough?
Nice. Respect for law enforcement will be one of her top stories very soon, I am sure…
She just earned my vote!
The entitlement class, another black mark on our culture.
She didn’t know they were cops. If they weren’t cops, it would’ve been perfectly OK for her to slug them– they’d just be normal peons then!
There’s got to be more to the story than what we’re hearing. Who gets out of a car to photograph people? And then haul out and slug one?
I mean, isn’t that the cabbie’s job?
I still vote for Calvin!!!!!!!!!!!
If this was her audition for an anchor spot on PMSNBC, then she blew it by not blaming Bush as she exited the jail!
Wow, if this were anywher but the US she would be getting a beat down, if not a shot into the back of the head.
Oh, those poor celebrities, having to deal with commoners. It’s just so traumatic for them when people don’t realize they’re “somebody”. When she goes to court, will she tell the judge she’s a “celebrity”, and therefore above the law?
She’ll take a couple of anger management classes and all will be well in TV Land. As for her “homophobic” comments, well CBS will find some way to “damage control” the situation.
Nothing to see here, move along.
Of course she is totally innocent-everyone knows the police have nothing better to do than file false reports about “celebrities”.sarc off.
Seriously,how does someone like her manage to keep a high-profile position in the news media? Also,when did newspeople become celebrities?It seems to me that to be truly effective in the field of reporting hard news,one would desire a less recognizable persona,or at least one based on something other than scandalous sexual activity.Any thoughts?
Calvan actually tried to make a sincere appology… This bag is just denying anything happened.
The cameras in cop cars and all over NYC should make this a fun case for us…
Wonder how her lawyer will spin this.
“What she really said, Your Honor, was, ‘I don’t care that you’re a –’”
corpse?
cow?
corps?
con(servative)?
I teach my kids everyday to respect those in authority. Lock her up, throw away the key.
The epitome of class.
Now that’s is absolutely shocking.
Uh Oh, looks like someone’s going to go off to rehab for a while!!!
I wonder how long it will take the smoking gun website to get the booking photos?
I blame Bush.
(joke is getting old, isnt’ it.)
They should have left her in the drunk/prostitue tank for the night – be a real learning experience for the dingbat.
Spoiled brat.
There’s something in the water in Philidelphia. Except for Geno, they all seem to be going nuts there. I’m sure that it won’t take 48 hours for her to become the victim and get booked on the View.
Oh come on now, not all of us are crazy. Then again, I do filter my water.
The arrogance of the MSM knows no bounds. Hitting a cop. I wonder what would happen to an average citizen who did that? The witch needs to have the book thrown at her.
I thought Alycia Lane was a pretty big jerk when she sent a married man bikini shots (as she got divorced), but this takes the cake.
Rich Eisen’s wife evidently got the emailed pics because Lane sent them to their joint account.
If I were her, I’d just stick with “don’t you know who I am?” and leave out the slurs.
Michelle, if Jerk of the Year is a real award you are far to easy with your nomination. The Lane incident sounds very much like an over zealous citizens outreach. My easy nominations might be Boston’s MTA authority and if nothing else Sharpton is always worth kicking around.
So little respect.
This is probably the biggest reason I find leftists so offensive, they are often so disrespectful! She can’t see that cops are people, too, with feelings. They are so focused on themselves they completely forget civility.
I really hope she is punished for this. And for calling this cop a “dyke bitch”…well that is just so rude and uncalled for.

MTA gets my vote for “Jerk of the Year”
with honorable mentions for Al, Jessie, Calvin and Cynthia McKinney!
GSP
Send her to Gitmo.
Just my two cents:
9th Ave is a south-flowing artery on the west side of Manhattan, jam packed with party people in cars, in cabs and on the sidewalks at 2:00am on a Sat. night/Sunday morning. An incident like this would have attracted scores of eyewitnesses. I mention this to illustrate that this would NOT be an ideal location for the NYPD to bear false witness, as Ms. Lane’s defense alleges.
If indeed there was a video camera in the unmarked car, I doubt it would have captured the incident, as Ms. Lane’s cab is reported to have been behind the NYPD’s car. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a security camera mounted somewhere near this intersection, but just from experience, I imagine that a multitude of pedestrians were witness to this incident.
Uninvolved witnesses + an undercover NYPD officer with a lacerated face = trouble for Ms. Lane’s case.
In addition, well armed, undercover NYPD utilize multiple forms of transportation (unmarked cars, disguised taxi cabs, disguised utility and delivery trucks, etc.) Their primary focus at 2:00am is vice (drug crime/prostitution) and special victims (rape.) It is NOT advisable to get out of your cab and start picking fights at 2:00am in NYC.
It appears that Ms. Lane’s career might have skipped the more experienced ‘beat reporter’ route and went straight to ‘pretty face/talking head.’
Yeah – that sounds like a totally unbiased, true account of what happened.
They told her to step back and she starting hitting the female police offer. Uh-huh. Yeah. Sounds about right.
Let’s stop inventing “issues” where there are none, Michelle. As much as I hate to admit it, many liberal figures in the MSM are decent people – and probably just as many cops are assholes.
I failed to notice where MM stated that Lane was a liberal, David. Perhaps you could point that out.
Perhaps you could also tell us what really happened, since you apparently are in the know.
Wow – what do you have against drunks and prostitutes?!
Such a classy “lady”.
Right…she sounds like a real charmer, judging from her bio. I am sure the cops lied. Poor little MSM liberal…got in trouble for belting a cop. This just screams injustice.
A new troll?
Please introduce yourself.

Perhaps you didn’t notice that Michelle’s entry is centered on two separate media accounts from NYC and from Philly?
If double sourcing is your idea of “inventing issues,” I’d love to learn about your standards for reporting that
“and probably just as many cops are %$#holes.”
As long as you’re on the beat, Dave, what are your sources saying as to the cause of the lacerations on the female cop’s face?
Can’t wait to see this mugshot.
Another angry moonbat.
She checked into rehab for anger issues, and maybe an apology to police officers every where? Maybe a meeting with members of the Police Association to get their help in dealing with her anger towards police officers? Isn’t that the ususal spin?
And then back on the street two days later after the press has moved on to other “stories”.
Oh wait, she’s part of the MSM. . . it’s Bush’s fault.
Isn’t that just a bit redundant?
Looks like she’s going to take an early “vacation”.
Full story here:
It may end up being a permanent one.
Would it be safe to say she didn’t fall down?
My guess is a knuckle sandwich with a can of whupa$s.
First of all, one should NEVER strike someone who is carrying a gun and has the authority to use it when they feel threatened. That just isn’t a smart thing to do. She just might find herself standing before God trying to explain to Him why she felt she had the right to do that.
Second, when a policeman tells one to do leave an area, do it. They have the authority to do so, and probably have a good reason to. Often it’s for one’s own safety. Or because one is contaminating a crime scene.
Third, always try to remember one’s lies, so one can back them up. She said she didn’t care that that woman was a cop, then tried to say she didn’t know that woman was a cop.
Per #41’s Philly.com link:
#30 has a long day and many phone calls ahead of him. Better get crackin’ Dave, lots of media sources to admonish for “inventing issues.”
She’s toast. No one needs the bad pub, and there would be little way of making it up to the various members of the viewing community she’s offended by these (alleged) comments.
Denver had a TV anchor who went ape**** in a domestic quarrel at her boyfriend’s house, breaking a window and screaming at him. She left town, left TV (reportedly “gladly”) and has never been heard from again.
From philly.com
For the station to pull promos, and be up in the air about showing a taped special with her in it, for someone who appears to be a very important member of the “team”, should tell you how screwed she is…
Has Rebecca Aguilar been nominated for “Jerk of the Year” yet? She is the agenda-driven Dallas TV anchor who mercilessly ambushed and interrogated an elderly man about two self defense shootings in which he was involved. Although the TV station has demanded that video copies of the interview be removed, one is still available here:
http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=6905
Moral of the story… she found out her poop does stink.
Slugging a cop…who does she think she is? A Georgia congresswomen?
I hate to say this, but it looks like we have another Jerk of the Year nominee.
Thanks tons, Mr. Nava.
“cop-dyke bitch” Will we be dealing with a hate crime here?
By tonight she will be suing the city for the right wing cops that attacked her.
I heard that this women used to intern for Cynthia McKinney.
I belive that the security camera in the car will reveal the following:
-Randi Rhodes was the actual assault victim
-A person intimately known to the staff of Columbia U hung a noose in the back window of Ms Lane’s car
-The man involved in the story has recently penciled in a whole lot of “unexpected” engagements in his date book
-off in the distance, you can barely make out a black helicopter
-She has on a pair of yellow “kill Bush” socks
Just my theory.
Obviously, there are some folks posting that don’t realize Alycia Lane is posturing, self-absorbed local celebrity in her area that feels there are two standards. There are those for the little people, like me, and those for the people of some notoriety, like herself.
She’s got my vote for Jerk of the Year. Can I vote twice?
Dave? Hello?
“What’s the frequency, Kenneth?”
She must’ve been a roommate of Cynthia McKinney’s sometime during her life.
Sadly, we all know what the future of this case looks like. Lane will hire a top notch defense team that intimidates local judges in New York City and the judge will rule in her favor on all the motions that the high powered defense team files. In contrast, the judge will show disdain for the polyester wearing prosecutors in their Payless shoes. Most of the judges in state criminal in court New York were unknown lawyers in practice and owe their judgeships less to skill in the courtroom than to skill in the clubhouse. Judges in New York get their jobs by slavish obedience to the Democratic Party. Let’s just remember the Puffy (P Diddy) trial from a few years ago. The judge treated the defendant (Puffy) and his high powered lawyers like celebrities. The judge treated the prosecutors like they were crap. And an acquittal on all counts was inevitable. It will happen again.
^sigh* Yet another peace loving, tolerant Liberal who supporys a woman who is working in a traditionally male field as well as making sure to uphold the law to set a good example for the kids, as well as showing support and respct for the men and women in Law Enforcement.
I mean, what I meant to say was…
typical violent, disresprctful, Liberal hypocrite. I hope she and Large Marge were able to spoon last night.
Hey wait a minute… if she called the female officer a “dyke bitch” while assaulting her, doesn’t this constitute a hate crime?
Hmmmmmm, where ARE the feds?
Oppps, sorry Hannibal, didn’t realize you were there already…
HATE CRIMES = ANYTHING A LIBERAL DISAGREES WITH.
This is not a HATE CRIME. If you call for the death of our BRAVE HEROIC TROOPS that’s not only a HATE CRIME but it is TREASON & SEDITION too.
Watched Bill O’Reilly’s pathetic coverage of this story last night. Bill put on his feminist alter ego and joined his two self proclaimed “feminist babes” to enlighten the “folks”. All three discovered the word “salacious” and agreed that if not for her being a 35 year old “good looking” babe, this would be a non-story. Evidently, if Michael Kinsley had B-slapped a police officer no one in the media would have noticed. Never once mentioned her purported verbal comments directed at the female officer. It’s all about their bodies and not their minds!
