The temperamental supermodel was sentenced to 200 hours of community service after pleading guilty to assaulting two police officers during an "air rage" incident at Heathrow Airport in early April.

She, nevertheless, managed to avoid jail sentence, pleaded guilty to the charges, admitting to kicking and spitting at police officers after going off at airline staff for losing her luggage.
Is said to have regretted the incident and looked forward to tell her side of the story, Campbell was on Friday, June 20 sentenced to 200 hours of community service, ordered to pay 200 pounds ($400) to each of the police officers she attacked and 150 pounds ($300) to Miles Sutherland, the captain of the British Airways plane she disrupted, and also a 2,300 pounds ($4,600) fine.
After a court hearing, a spokesman for Campbell told the press the catwalk queen was "very, very relieved" the incident was over.
