Foxy Cops to Probation Violation
Foxy Brown's one self-beautification project away from some serious jail time.
The tantrum-happy hip-hopster, whose real name is Inga Marchand, pleaded guilty Thursday to a probation violation for traveling outside New York without the permission of authorities.
Despite calls from prosecutors and probation officials to lock up the rapper immediately, Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson said she'd give Brown one more chance—"a third chance."
"Three strikes and you're out. Basically, I'll be giving the keys to the jailhouse to Ms. Marchand," said Jackson."I'm reserving the right to resentence you to jail for one year."
Last October, Brown, 27, was sentenced to three years' probation, anger-management classes and random drug tests after pleading guilty to assaulting two manicurists at a New York nail salon.
Brown's first strike came in January, when she was bounced from an anger-management program for allegedly threatening an employee.
Her second strike came Feb. 15, when, after leaving town without telling her probation officer, she got arrested in South Florida for allegedly roughing up the owner of a beauty-supply shop and a cop. She is facing battery and obstruction of justice charges.
Washington also upped Brown's time in anger management, ordering her to attend counseling once a week for the next year.
"If your client could have impulse control, she'd be fine," the judge told Brown's lawyer, state Senator John J. Sampson.
On Monday, Brown held an impromptu press conference at a church, where she blamed the media and police for blowing the incident out of proportion and accused the store owner of manufacturing an altercation to "pay his mortgage and his children's tuition."
Brown was singing a different tune after Thursday's hearing, however.
"I believe Judge Jackson believes I'm trying to work hard," Brown told reporters outside the courthouse. "She seems to be saying, 'I'm pulling for you, kiddo.' She's seeing the maturity in me and she believes in me. I'm at the rebuilding stage as a person."
The rebuilding is set to continue later this year as the rapper is set to release her first studio album in six years, Black Roses.
