She was known as 'Morganza' when she graced the runways of reality television due to her often outrageous behaviour.

While just on Project Runway to be a clothes horse, Morgan Quinn stole the limelight after a succession of tantrums and tears.

But it seems the stunner has made an even less positive impression on the New York Police.

Legal trouble: Former Project Runway model Morgan Quinn was charged August 23 in New York for making a false report

The model was arrested for filing a false report last month.

The New York Daily News reports the slender blonde had claimed she was robbed at knife point last month.

Big claims: The model allegedly reported that a homeless man armed with a sharp object demanded her for money at a Murray Hill deli

Police sources told the newspaper on Friday the model reported that a homeless man armed with a sharp object demanded her money at a Murray Hill deli on August 7.

Morgan then allegedly claimed the man forced her into a building and made her hand over her purse - which had $300 inside - and her $2,000 ring.

When police began to investigate however, they allegedly found video footage from the building that showed no such crime had taken place.

According to the Daily News the one time reality star was then charged with with filing a false report on August 23.

Attempts by the publication to reach Morgan have been unsuccessful.

While most models have remained unnamed and largely a minor part of Heidi Klum's Project Runway, Morgan became both and loved and loathed feature of the first season of the long-running fashion reality competition.

The competing designers dubbed her Morganza after her antics constantly disrupted the competition.

During her time she managed to get caught on film damaging outfits, being late and getting extremely emotional.

However, her antics were not just restricted to when the reality cameras were on her.

Page Six later reported after the show the model was able to secure a shoot with clothing label Carlisle.

The publication reports that the model turned up late saying her taxi had been hit by another in car accident before walking off set claiming she had a concussion.

The model was quoted as tearfully saying: 'I’m not Naomi Campbell, you know.

'I’ve had people say they don’t wanna work with me after watching the show. It has hurt me. If it was a real job, I would have taken it more seriously but it was a reality show about people who had three hours to make dresses.'
