Off-duty NYPD cop flips out over chocolate store closing

An off-duty NYPD officer went berserk in a Godiva store when she was told they were closing — even fighting police who responded to the call, cops said.

Officer Amanda Villafane went to the store at the Stamford Town Center with her mother and Christopher Salvadore, 32, around 6 p.m. Sunday, police said.

“They were told the store was closing,” Stamford Police Sgt. Brian Butler said. “They were not happy with that answer.”

That’s when Villafane took off her jacket and started yelling, video of the incident shows.

At one point, she can be heard threatening a clerk: “I will knock you the f–k out!”

Salvadore, who at first seemed to be trying to hold the officer back, allegedly punched an 18-year-old who was filming the incident with his phone.

Making matters worse, Villafane showed her NYPD identification and fought with a cop.

“When they went to arrest her she didn’t want to cooperate so they had to take her to the ground and cuff her,” Butler said.

He said the floor was covered with “blood and chocolate.”

Villafane was charged with criminal trespassing, disorderly conduct and interfering with police. Salvador was charge with assault and disorderly conduct.

The NYPD said Villafane was suspended without pay “for the good of the department.”

Wedding crasher spying on ‘boyfriend’ sparks massive bridesmaids brawl: cops

A wedding crasher ruined a couple’s big day when she hurled a drink at guests and got involved in a bridesmaids brawl, police said.

Shelby McDowell, 20, was arrested Sunday night after she showed up uninvited to spy on a guest she claimed was her boyfriend at a wedding in Palm Coast, Florida, according to news station WKMG.

McDowell claimed, upon arriving at Hammock Beach Resorts, that she saw her boyfriend, Darby Johns, dancing with and kissing a woman on the dance floor.

She then poured a drink on the pair, punched the woman in the face and made a break for the bathroom, according to authorities.

Several bridesmaids, however, decided to take matters into their own hands and dragged McDowell out of the bathroom stall, according to WKMG.

The resort manager came to break up the fight, but McDowell was on top of her boyfriend’s dancing partner and punching her, authorities said.

Johns told authorities that the unruly wedding crasher was not his girlfriend. He claimed that he had been heading to the dance floor when she attacked them.

McDowell was booked at Flagler County jail on battery charges.
