Stormy blows off bad bust

This storm blew over quickly.

Ohio prosecutor­s dropped charges against Stormy Daniels on Thursday — hours after she was cuffed for allegedly violating an arcane state law by “smacking” an undercover cop’s face “with her bare breasts” during a performanc­e, authoritie­s said.

The 39-year-old porn star — who is suing President Trump in a case involving an alleged tryst — was arrested while performing at the Sirens strip club in Columbus on Wednesday night.

Less than 10 hours later, Daniels’ attorney, Michael Avenatti, tweeted the charges had been tossed “in their entirety.”

Prosecutor Joseph Gibson confirmed to the Daily News he had granted Avenatti’s motion to dismiss the charges, which were filed under Ohio’s little-enforced Community Defense Act.

Avenatti previously said his client, who was paid $130,000 by Trump’s exfixer Michael Cohen to keep mum about allegedly sleeping with the President in 2006, was arrested while “performing the same act she has performed across the nation at nearly a hundred strip clubs.”

During her performanc­e at Sirens, Daniels “began forcing the faces of the patrons into her chest and using her bare breasts to smack the patrons,” according to a criminal complaint. Police officers observed her “fondling” the breasts of female patrons, according to authoritie­s.

Daniels leaned over, grabbed the detective’s head and began “smacking her face with her bare breasts,” police said. Daniels also held the detective’s face between her breasts against her chest. She then “performed the same acts” on a male detective and another officer, according to the complaint.
