Alycia Lane's Charges Dropped (Sort Of)
Monday, February 25, 2008
Good news for fans of crazy this afternoon as former news anchor and Richard Eisen friend Alycia Lane took a deal in her New York court case. The anchor was charged with striking a female police officer and calling her a dirty name (dyke). The unfortunate thing is that we'll apparently never know if she really did those things or not....
Former CBS3 anchor Alycia Lane moved a step toward vindication in a five-minute hearing this morning in criminal court in Manhattan.
A judge signed off on an agreement stemming from a Dec. 16 incident in New York that will result in all charges being dropped in six months.
The deal is known as an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal. Under an ACD, if Lane stays out of trouble for six months, her record will be wiped clean. She will carry neither a guilty plea nor a conviction.
Well then. So I guess we can expect a Wrongful Termination suit thrown at Philly's CBS Channel 3 then next. Also, there were rumors of her being invited to the WWE, but it looks like that's not going to happen. Darn.

This Alycia Lane Saga Just Gets Weirder, She's Been Offered A Job With The WWE

Our favorite cop beating anchorwoman is back in the news, and this time it's even weirder than the other 40 times. Vince McMahon has reportedly offered Alycia Lane a job in professional wrestling. Via Media Bistro....
According to Alycia Lane's boyfriend, the troubled ex-television news anchor just got a job offer from the WWE. Yes, the pro wrestling league. Radio host Chris Booker was quoted in the Philadelphia Daily News as saying that Lane was offered an on-camera job at the WWE by Vince McMahon.Nice! She should so take him up on the offer because her life's been playing out like a WWE plot line anyway. Hell the script is already written....she sends photos to Triple H, Stephanie McMahon gets pissed and then they fight in a cage match. I'm brilliant I know.
Confirmation from the WWE was unavailable... but it's not too surprising. Lane, an news anchor in a large regional market, came to national prominence through two high-profile scandals in a single year. First, the Rich Eisen bikini pictures and then slugging the cop. For Lane (if the offer is true), the choice might just be between working for the WWE and kissing serious news goodbye... or accepting a job in a small Midwest or Southern market.
Something tells us she might just go for the first.
