Less than a month after being released from prison, the rapper Foxy Brown pleaded guilty in a Brooklyn court on Thursday to using her BlackBerry phone to menace a woman, Reuters reported. Foxy Brown, 29, whose real name is Inga Marchand, avoided a felony assault charge, which carries a maximum sentence of seven years in prison, by pleading guilty to menacing, a misdemeanor.
She was accused of bruising an eye and chipping a tooth of her longtime neighbor, Arlene Raymond, when she struck the woman with the phone last July. On Thursday, Justice John P. Walsh of State Supreme Court in Brooklyn sentenced the rapper to time already served and ordered her to submit an apology. “I apologize for the incident that occurred on July 31, 2007, in that I attempted to scare Arlene Raymond and place her in harm’s way,” Foxy Brown said in a handwritten note.
