Weapons ruling made in Madonna 'stalking' case

A New York City judge has dismissed weapons charges against a former firefighter who was arrested outside Madonna’s apartment building two years ago.

Police said Robert Linhart parked his SUV outside the Material Girl’s Central Park West apartment, and laid out spray-painted poster boards with love notes. One said “Madonna, I need you.”

Another read, “Tell me yes or no. If it’s yes, my dream will come true. If it’s no, I will go.”

The New York Post reported that Manhattan state Supreme Court Judge Analisa Torres ruled on Friday that police improperly seized a knife and an ice pick from Linhart when they arrested him.

A resisting-arrest charge is still pending.

Linhart’s lawyer, Lawrence LaBrew, says Linhart maintains his innocence.
