Foxy Brown Headed to Lockdown

Foxy's just been caged.

Hours after being indicted for an alleged BlackBerry assault, a New York judge on Friday sentenced hot-tempered hip-hop diva Foxy Brown to a year in the big house for a series of probation violations.

"I'm not going to give you any more chances," Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson told Brown. "I hope you turn your life around and never again have to stand in a court of law."

The 28-year-old Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, is on probation for a 2004 assault on two manicurists at a downtown nail salon.

Jack Ryan, a spokesman for the city's Department of Probation, told E! Online that Brown will begin serving her jail term immediately, most likely at Rikers Island.

Upon hearing her fate, Brown burst in tears and looked at her mother, who was there to support her daughter.

The "Get Me Home" emcee, who revealed her pregnancy last month, is now facing the daunting prospect of giving birth to her first child behind bars.

Jackson's stern sentence came after she rejected a plea deal that would have limited Brown's jail time to nine months. The judge was particularly peeved at the performer after a lawyer for the Department of Probation informed the court Brown would be facing charges in the BlackBerry case.

Brown was indicted on second- and third-degree assault, attempted second-degree assault and criminal possession of a weapon for the July 30 incident, in which she allegedly beaned her neighbor with her Smartphone after the two got into a spat over Brown's loud car stereo.

Earlier in Friday's session, a handcuffed Brown begged for leniency.

"I'm willing to do whatever I need to do to change," the Brooklyn-born entertainer said, owning up to the fact that she erred on a number of occasions and vowing to stay out of trouble—for real this time. "I realize that's not where I want to be. It's humbled me in ways I never imagined."

But Jackson wasn't buying any more excuses.

"Ms. Marchand, it's too little, too late," replied the judge, who sarcastically called the rapper "a great actress" for her weepy demeanor. "I'm glad you're learning something; that's a positive."

Jackson based her decision in part on the testimony of Carol L. Friedland, a clinical psychologist who told the court Brown stopped showing up for mandatory anger-management classes. Jackson also cited four previous violations read by probation department lawyer Matilda Leo.

The transgressions date back to January, when Brown was bounced from a Big Apple anger-management program for allegedly threatening a staffer.

A month later, the Ill Na Na purveyor was nabbed in Florida after spitting and throwing hair glue at the manager of a beauty supply store and then fighting with police. The rapper, who failed to clear the trip with her probation officer, still faces charges of battery and obstruction of justice.

Following that dustup, Brown pleaded guilty to another screwup—again for traveling outside of New York without permission. But Jackson again granted Brown a reprieve, ordering the performer to spend more time in anger management and get counseling once a week for a year.

Despite earning praise from the judge in June for staying out of trouble, Brown was busted for the BlackBerry assault and, a week later, was arrested in New Jersey for giving false information to police who pulled her over for blowing through a stop sign. After being taken into custody, she was issued seven traffic tickets.

Leo said Brown failed to inform probation officials of the multiple citations or that she had illicitly changed her address from Brooklyn to Mahwah, New Jersey.

Brown, who has been in jail awaiting Jackson's ruling since Aug. 22, was supposed to be in a Mahwah municipal court this week to answer the driving-related charges.

But it looks like that case will have to wait.
