NEW YORK — Police improperly seized a gravity knife and an ice pick belonging to a Madonna-obsessed ex-firefighter when they arrested him outside her apartment two years ago, Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Analisa Torres ruled yesterday in dismissing his felony-weapons charges.
“I look forward to seeing justice work,” Robert Linhart said as he left court.
Linhart was arrested twice in September 2010 after parking his SUV outside the Material Girl’s Central Park West apartment, opening spray-paint cans and creating poster-board professions of love.
“Madonna, I need you,” read one. “Tell me yes or no,” read another. “If it’s yes, my dream will come true. If it’s no, I will go. XXX.”
A resisting-arrest rap is still on the table.
“Mr. Linhart maintains his innocence,” said Linhart’s lawyer, Lawrence LaBrew.
