Cat Fight: Anchor Alycia Lane arrested for punching a cop Everyone knows that Philly is one of the toughest cities in America, and on Sunday this was yet again proved, after the local CBS 3 anchor Alycia Lane was arrested in New York for hitting a female police officer in the face. According to reports, Alycia Lane, along with beau Q102 morning host Chris Booker and another couple, were riding in a taxi cab in New York, when one of the male occupants jumped out of the cab to "speed up" a slow moving car in front of them. It turned out that the car was actually an unmarked police vehicle, but this fact made no difference to the Philadelphia anchor. According to Philadelphia Weekly, Alycia Lane screamed at the police officer "I don't give a f--- who you are, I'm a f---ing TV reporter, you f---ing dyke" and then allegedly punched the cop in the face, when she was asked to step back.

New York City police spokesman Sgt. Carlos Nieves said that the officer suffered laceration wounds to her face and Alycia Lane was booked and charged with one count of assault with intent to cause physical injury to an officer. Lane was later released with no bail, hearing of the case is scheduled for April 3rd. At this point Alycia Lane's future with CBS remains unknown.
