Playmate sues taxi driver
NEW YORK - A woman who bills herself as the first openly lesbian Playboy Playmate sued a taxi driver, police and the city on Friday, claiming that officers needlessly roughed her up based on the cabbie's false accusation that she was armed and dangerous.
"It was a nightmare," Stephanie Adams, 35, said at a news conference announcing the suit, which seeks unspecified damages.
The city had no immediate response. The cab driver, 40-year-old Eric Darko, denied any wrongdoing.

Its rough out there...
The suit stems from a May 25 incident that began when Adams — Miss November 1992 — caught Darko's cab on the Upper East Side of Manhattan to take to her Chelsea apartment. After the pair argued over where to drop her off, she alleges he cursed her out, called 911 and made the false report that she had a gun.
