Gabor Wins Access to Officer’s File
The Beverly Hills Police Department was ordered Wednesday to turn over to Zsa Zsa Gabor any misconduct complaints in the personnel file of the officer who arrested her after a traffic stop confrontation.
Municipal Judge Charles G. Rubin issued the order releasing paper work on Officer Paul Kramer, variously described by Gabor as an “empty-headed, gorgeous man” and a “sadist.”
Kramer arrested Gabor June 14 in her Rolls-Royce Corniche after he pulled her over for a registration violation. She drove off and, after the officer got her to stop two blocks later, she allegedly slapped him in the face.
Gabor faces misdemeanor charges of committing a battery on a police officer, disobeying a police officer’s orders, driving with an expired license, having an open container of alcohol in her car and carrying an expired registration.
Gabor’s attorneys contend the officer has a history of harassment against celebrities and that Gabor was only using self-defense.
The pretrial hearing Wednesday before Rubin lacked the glitz of Gabor’s arraignment last month, when she arrived in a silver limousine. Gabor did not attend this hearing. Her trial was scheduled for Sept. 11.
