Dec 1992: Courtney Love is in court on assault charges for beating up British rock journalist Victoria Clarke in a LA nightclub.
Jan 1995: While on a Qantas flight across the continent of Australia, Courtney Love was told by a flight attendant that she was "breaching safety regulations" by having her feet in the air against her window. "Your feet are offending passengers," said the attendant. Love turned to the 20 or so businessmen who were sharing first class with her and said, "Excuse me. Are my feet offending anybody?" The businessmen did not respond. The attendant, however, threatened to have Love arrested if she did not bring down her legs and behave like a decent woman. "You are one mean f**king stewardess," Love said. "You are the nastiest stewardess I have met. I think you need therapy." From the Sydney Morning Herald: "Acting on a report from Qantas that a woman passenger had been causing trouble and might be on drugs, police at the airport arrested and strip-searched Love and charged her with 'intimidation of flight crew thereby endangering the safety of an aircraft'--a crime that carried a maximum penalty of 14 years in jail." Two days after she was released from the airport, Love arrived at Broadmeadows Magistrate Court in a limousine, signed autographs, and pleaded guilty to offensive behavior. The court proved to be kind to Love; it only "imposed a one-month $500 good-behavior bond."
1995 Courtney Love pleaded guilty in 1995 to an attack on Bikini Kill's Kathleen Hanna. Love reportedly flicked her cigarette at Hanna and sucker punched her. She was sentenced to anger-management classes for her trouble.
May 1998 Nightlife columnist Belissa Cohen sued Love for "assault, battery, negligence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress" resulting from an incident involving Cohen's attempt to photograph Love at an LA fashion show.

A Vancouver homeowner is suing Courtney Love - saying she owes him more than $26,000 in rent. Lawyers for Peter Ashby filed a statement of claim in British Columbia Supreme Court on Thursday, saying Ashby agreed to lease his posh home to Love from April 20th - June 7th of this year. The singer-actress, who was in the Canadian city working on the movie 24 Hours, moved in April 22nd, but left the next day. She is now staying at a Vancouver hotel. When Ashby tried to cash two advance checks worth $6,000 each, he found the payments had been stopped, the suit said. Ashby is suing for the rent and damage deposit payments. He also wants compensation for his legal costs and interest. Love and two production companies also involved in the suit have two weeks to file a statement of defense.
Feb 2003: During a Virgin Atlantic flight from LAX to Heathrow, Love became "verbally abusive" to the flight crew, and at one point is said to have banged on the plane's cabin door. When the jet landed at Heathrow, according to NME, the police arrested Love and placed her in the back of a van parked on the runway. Upon release from Heathrow's police station after almost 11 hours of questioning, Love explained to the British press that she "cussed at a lady named Mary [because] she wasn't letting my friend into first class and I said, 'Why are you being such a pregnant dog about it?' Cautioned and released.
Oct 2003: Concerned that her now ex-boyfriend, Jim Barber, might be doing the nasty with her ex-assistant, Love broke the windows of his home in an apparent attempt to enter it and confront him. Barber's neighbors called the police, and the police arrived and arrested the rock celebrity. This is how Love described the incident in Us magazine: " bam! Apocalypse Now! Helicopters, cops, megaphones. It was Die Hard With a Vengeance!" The police took Love to the precinct and booked her for "being under the influence of a controlled substance." Courtney posted the $2,500 bail and was released. Shortly after arriving at her $3.3 million Beverly Hills home, Love, according to Us, called Barber and left this message on his answering machine: "I want to die, I want to jump off the Empire State Building," which might have been a real suicide threat or the lyrics to a new rock song she's working on. It seems it might have been the former rather than the latter, because moments after the call Love overdosed on the painkiller OxyContin while in the presence of her 11-year-old daughter, Frances Bean. As Love recovered at the hospital, the state assumed custody of her daughter
June 2004 - Courtney Love has been charged with felony assault for allegedly battering a Kristin King with a liquor bottle and metal flashlight during an April attack at the same Los Angeles home where the troubled performer was arrested last October.
