Foxy Brown has been charged with assaulting her longtime neighbor with her Blackberry cell phone on July 30th in the Prospect Heights section of Brooklyn last month. According to police reports the 27-year-old rapper, whose real name is Inga Marchand, turned herself in to detectives at the 77 Precinct at around 2:30 p.m. yesterday afternoon (Aug 14). She was charged with felony assault, menacing, harassment and criminal possession of a weapon.
Brown was arraigned last night and released on $5,000 bail. Her next court date is Sept. 26.
Foxy, who was already on probation when she turned herself in, allegedly smacked the woman in her face with her Blackberry, during an argument.The victim was reportedly taken to Brooklyn Hospital for loosened teeth due to blunt force trauma, swelling of the lip and swelling of the right eye. She filed a complaint with police, and after an investigation, the rapper agreed to turn herself in yesterday.
This isn’t the first run-in with the law Foxy has had. She pleaded guilty last year to misdemeanor assault charges stemming from a fight with salon workers over payment for a manicure; she is on probation in that case. Foxy is also facing a battery charge in another unrelated salon incident earlier this year. Police reports claim she threw hair glue at a beauty shop employee in Florida when he asked her to leave because the shop was closing.

While the Florida case is pending, the Manhattan court that handled the original arrest imposed restrictions on Foxy, including drug tests and anger management classes. Probation officials wanted the close monitoring to continue for another two months, but a Manhattan judge overruled.
