Ex-Channel 7 honcho Randi Goldklank — who resigned from the Boston station after a booze-fueled, airport tirade in 2008 — was arrested in Florida Sunday night after dancing like a stripper in a restaurant and threatening to put the arresting officer on the news, police said.
Delray Beach police were called to The Office at 9:35 p.m. because an intoxicated woman was “doing innappropriate acts” and refused to leave, according to the police report, obtained by the Herald.
Restaurant staff called police, saying Goldklank was “touching herself, removing her top and dancing on a pole like a stripper,” according to the report.
Goldklank, who just turned 43, was sitting at the hostess desk and touching the restaurant’s DJ equipment when a police officer arrived. The embattled TV exec refused to step outside, the report said.
According to the report, the officer then took her arm and led her out of the restaurant but Goldklank tried to run away.
Goldklank was slurring her speech, “appeared intoxicated” and threatened to put the cop on the news — in a scenario similar to her embarrassing Boston arrest, according to police.
“The defendant repeatedly told me that if I did not let her go, I would be on the news because she works for News 12,” the report said.
The officer handcuffed Goldklank and wrote that “it took several attempts before I had to finally force the defendant into the back of the car.”
Goldklank was arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting an officer without violence.
The latest arrest has cost Goldklank her general sales manager job at CBS affiliate WPEC-TV (Ch.12) in West Palm Beach. “She’s no longer employed at the station,” station spokesman Robert Emmers said today.
Restaurant manager Justin Jacob declined comment today.
Goldklank was arrested at Boston’s Logan International Airport three years ago after she threw back “three dozen drinks,” caused a disturbance on a plane and assaulted state troopers, screaming, “Do you know who the (expletive) I am? I’ll have a news crew down here in minutes and you will lose your (expletive) jobs you (expletives).”
At the time, Goldklank was vice president and general manager of WHDH-TV (Ch.7). She later resigned and headed south.
Goldklank could not immediately be reached.

“Alcohol is a hell of a drug.” — apologies to Rick James
“high maintenance?” Oh, a tad.
Well she has a stripper’s name...Randi Goldklank
Not too bad lookin’ for a 43 year-old alcoholic.
>>The Office
Honey I had a bad NIGHT at The Office!
Her former encounter with the law featured that famous line associated with the Kennedys: DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?
or a job with the TSA. ;~))
I think that was Kerry who said that.
Obviously
Earlier incident: she threw back 3 dozen drinks which can only remind me of this heartwarming moment from Happy Days\
RICHIE: All we had was some beer...in teeny, tiny glasses
HOWARD CUNNINGHAM: How many teeny tiny glasses did you have?
RICHIE: Seventy-two.
I’d say she’s pretty much flamed out...it will be difficult for her to get a job producing the weekend weather at a news station in Nome.

Ahhh...the infamous Bed Spins.

You are blind my friend! GUILTY!
Thank God she didn’t smoke any pot. That’s stuff is dangerous. A little hair of the dog and she’ll be fine.
