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.
LOL - what kind of "restaurant" has both DJ equipment and a stripper pole?
LOL...go find me a picture of a better looking 43 year old alcoholic.
That’s a man, baby!

She was a real beauty then but wow - gone down fast in two years!
I meant “WASN’T”
Here’s a live one for ya!
I can say I haven’t done worse!
And Thank God for that!
Guilty as charged!
She’s a party chick. Rock on!
Yeah, but the restaurant had a pole? Sounds like an “attractive nuisance” defense is in order. Or the Ambien defense, claiming confusion as to when amateur night was scheduled.
Goldskank: “Do you know who the (expletive) I am?”
Buckeye: “She’s a party chick”
Ah... so you DO know who the (expletive) she is! ;-)
Tick - that there’s funny. I don’t care who you are.
They must have meant, “Touching the restaurant DJ’s equipment.”
Nice! Thank you!
Ya gotta know the whole joke.
Sounds like a manic psychotic episode.
Dude, that’s a guy.
I do know the whole joke , but I thought it was about the Wookie living at the White House.
As for this lady the girls all get prettier at closing time and she could give me a lap dance in the VIP room.
