Foxy Brown Busted In Broward
Rapper Accused Of Throwing Hair Glue Gun At Beauty Shop Employee, Swatting Police Officer
POSTED: Friday, February 16, 2007
PMEBROKE PINES, Fla. -- Rapper Foxy Brown spent a night in jail after police said she threw hair glue at a beauty shop employee and later swatted an officer, her second legal problem stemming from a salon scuffle.
The 27-year-old was released from jail Friday on a $1,500 bond, the Broward Sheriff's Office said. She was charged with battery and resisting an officer with violence.
According to the Pembroke Pines arrest report, Brown was applying beauty products in the bathroom when a Queen Beauty Supply employee told her the business was closed and it was time to leave. She refused and threw hair glue at the employee, the report said. Brown then spat on the man as he called 911, staining his shirt, the report said.
A police officer found her in the shopping plaza and tried to get her to return to the store, the report said. When the officer placed a hand on her arm to escort her to the store, Brown swatted it away, then started swinging her arms and struggling with the officer, the report said.
The officer had to "use a takedown maneuver to gain control" of Brown, according to the report.
It wasn't immediately clear how Thursday's arrest would affect her sentence of three years' probation and anger management classes for attacking a pair of manicurists in New York City in 2004. The argument was about payment for a manicure at Bloomie Nails in Manhattan's Chelsea area.
Her lawyer, New York state Sen. John Sampson, did not return a phone call seeking comment Friday.
Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, is known for her sexy outfits and racy lyrics. Her albums include "Ill Na Na" and "Chyna Doll."
