Naomi Campbell's Bag Carrier Cursed, Charged

0804naomibag.jpgDOS police lieutenant John Fitzgerald is a 24-year vet who's better known as the guy who ended up carrying Naomi Campbell's bag when she reported for day two of her community service last year. And now he's stepping out of the model's shadow.

The NY Post reports that the sanitation cop must have caught the criminal bug from the model, as he was busted in Queens yesterday for allegedly forging a gun permit. If convicted, he'll be doing a lot more time than a few days of community service; he could end up behind bars for 7 years.

Was the bag cursed? When the photograph was published, it brought "shame and disgrace upon New York's Strongest - Fitzgerald was exiled to Queens," the first in a series of sad turns:

When investigators began looking into the allegations in August, Fitzgerald was dumped from the department's police force and banished from the Manhattan pier where he had supervised Naomi.

He was sent to The Bronx, where he supervised ordinary sanit workers on the midnight shift.

Before being charged yesterday, he had earned the nickname Louis Vuitton from co-workers. And if he lands in jail, he shouldn't expect any visits from Ms. Campbell, she was banned from British Airways last week after assaulting and spitting on a cop.

Someone needs to kick her ass. British Airways was right to Ban her from all BA flights for acting like a bitch.

 

Actually it would be great if all the airlines banned her for a year. Let her take the subway or bus.

BTW the sanit guy was, and still is, a jerk for carrying her bag.

 

he should have known better than to carry some model's bag.

& that woman needs to be under house-arrest (without servants)

 

She must really be a masochist. Why would you spend all that time and effort to bitch people out when it's going to get you into so much grief when a slight smile and courteous attitude would suffice. She must have serious pychological problems.

 

drugs

 

All that coke must have fried out her brain.

 

I like how Naomi totally emasculated a 24-year vet DOS police lieutenant.

Bags now Fitzgerald! pwned!

 

He was probably looking for a cush private security job after retiring. Lots of cops want that.

Just don't get caught on camera doing that shit before you turn in your shield.

 

Sanitation police? Come on I mean how many litter baskets can you write up? Kind of like those other useless illegal immigrant assholes, the traffic cops.

 

@Snoopy

What about illegal dumping? Contractors leaving their stuff with homeowners as residential waste, or dumping stuff in city trash cans. Then there is toxic waste/radioactive/medical waste in residential stream.

 

Sorry but sanitation cops are not real cops. Like Bookman the library cop on Seinfeld.
At least he's funny though. It goes a long way.
