Another voice opposed to open public knowledge:

O'Donnell targets town police, press

By Jonathan Lucas
Staff Writer

Responding to charges of hypocrisy, national daytime talk-show host and staunch gun control advocate Rosie O'Donnell this week criticized local police and press for releasing information that her bodyguard applied for a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

O'Donnell has been stung by recent criticism labeling her a hypocrite following a May 25 report published by Greenwich Time that her bodyguard applied for a permit to carry a gun while escorting her 5-year-old son to and from public school this fall.

Since the story was published, O'Donnell has alleged on her Web site and in television interviews that the bodyguard, whom she referred to as Marcos, was illegally searched last Thursday by Greenwich police while he waited for her son to be dismissed from a private nursery school.

In the past week, O'Donnell posted a message on the Web site for her nationally syndicated "The Rosie O'Donnell Show" encouraging fans to show their support by sending e-mail to Greenwich Time about the article that she claims was based on a rumor that the bodyguard was armed. O'Donnell also aired her displeasure with local police in an interview yesterday on NBC's "Today" show, saying the alleged search of her bodyguard and his car was conducted without a warrant.

Greenwich Police Chief Peter Robbins yesterday denied that his officers conducted an illegal search of the comedian's bodyguard, but would not say whether a search had been conducted.

"No illegal searches took place," Robbins said. "We don't make illegal searches."
