As Alycia Turns

In the category of best performance in a courtroom drama ….

And the Oscar goes to …

Yep, it’s time for an Alycia Lane update.

The former CBS3 anchorwoman will be back in the Big Apple today for a court hearing involving her now infamous scrap with a New York City police officer.

You might remember that it was back on Dec. 16 when the news woman took another trip in the “fast Lane.”

At about 2 a.m. Sunday, she and some folks in a car she was riding in got involved in some kind of a dustup with people in a slow-moving car in front of them.

One of the people in Lane’s vehicle got out and confronted the people in the car. It turns out they were undercover police officers.

Lane got out and started snapping pictures of the situation with her cell phone.

What happened next depends on whom you talk to. Police allege Lane unloaded a sexual slur on a female officer, and also slapped her. Lane denies doing any such thing.
The anchorwoman found herself in the headlines – again – after she was arrested and spent most of the day in the slammer in New York City.

Lane was placed on leave by her station CBS3, and then was fired two weeks later.
She continues to deny the police version of events in the altercation, and has been making legal filings against the station that most believe is the prelude to a wrongful dismissal lawsuit.

She might get some more ammo for her case today.

All signs indicate to a deal in which Lane will walk on the charges, so long as she has no other run-ins with the law.

Lane had three and a half years remaining on her $700,000-a-year gig with Channel 3.
Stay tuned for the latest chapter of “As Alycia Turns.” Me? I’ll settle for my boring life any day. But those who were so quick to throw Lane under the boss might want to take a new look at the case, depending on what happens in the courtroom today.
