Foxy Brown Will Face Charges In South Florida

Resisting Arrest One Of Charges From Alleged Pembroke Pines Beauty Store Incident

POSTED: Thursday, March 8, 2007

Rapper Foxy Brown has been charged with misdemeanor charges of battery and resisting without violence, stemming from an alleged fracas at a south Florida beauty supply shop, according to the state attorney.

The charges were filed Wednesday by the state attorney, who said probable cause and enough evidence was found to prosecute the singer.

According to the Pembroke Pines arrest report, Brown was applying beauty products in the bathroom of Queen Beauty Supply on Feb. 15 when the owner told her the business was closed and it was time to leave. She refused and threw a 99-cent bottle of hair glue at him, the report said. Brown then spat on him 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, 27, 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.

Last week, Brown was spared jail time by a New York judge, after violating probation she received after a fight at a Manhattan nail salon in 2004.

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."
