Alycia Lane, newscaster for KYW-TV, a CBS affiliate in Philadelphia, IS the news for the second time this year after being arrested on suspicion of assaulting a Manhattan police officer. Apparently Lane got into an altercation with the female cop and hit her in the face, causing a facial laceration. The charge is assault with intent to cause physical injury to an officer.
Lane was reportedly in the company of her boyfriend, K-Rock ex-jock Chris Booker. He is current morning talk radio host of Q102 in Philadelphia.
Lane, 35, appeared in court with her attorney, David Smith, where she entered a plea of not guilty. Smith reports that his client isn’t guilty of anything. The judge has set a court date of April.
Lane made national headlines back in June when it was reported that she had sent revealing bikini photos of herself to married NFL Network anchor Rich Eisen. The pictures were intercepted by Eisen’s wife, Suzy Shuster, who reportedly was not amused by what Lane said was meant to be good fun among old friends.
A network spokesperson, Joanne Calabria, indicates that station management “is very concerned for Alycia“.
We’ve included a photo of Eisen and Shuster, one of Lane in her bikini and one of boyfriend, Chris Booker.
