Foxy Brown Charged with Assault -- Again!

August 16, 2007


Rapper Foxy Brown has apparently taken a few notes from Naomi Campbell. The 27-year-old singer, who is on probation for attacking two manicurists at a nail salon in 2004, has been charged with assault and possession of a weapon — her cell phone. Brown was arrested Tuesday for allegedly hitting a neighbor with her BlackBerry.

Arlene Raymond, 25, lives near the temper-tantrum prone rapper in the Prospect Heights section of Brooklyn. Police said the two women got into a fight on July 30 over Brown blasting her car stereo. A few days later, Raymond and Brown allegedly passed each other on the street when Brown flung her Blackberry at Raymond, cutting her lip and loosening a tooth.

Brown was released on $50,000 bail after her arraignment on charges of felony assault, misdemeanor assault and criminal possession of a weapon. Her manager, Chaz Williams, said the charges were false.

Earlier this year, Foxy allegedly threw glue at a beauty shop employee, and was threatened with jail in Florida. Now, with her most recent assault charge, her probation may be revoked.

"We have filed a violation of probation with the court," said Jack Ryan, a spokesman for the city Department of Probation.
