Foxy Brown Sentenced To A Year In Prison

 Foxy Brown was sentenced to one-year in jail on Friday for violating probation, stemming from a fight with two manicurists in a New York City salon over three years ago.
“I’m not going to give you any more chances,” Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson told the 28-year-old rapper.
“I hope you turn your life around and never again have to stand in a court of law.”
Probation officials asked for the hearing after Brown, born Inga Marchand, was arrested on Aug. 14 in Brooklyn, NY, on charges of assaulting a female neighbor.
According to reports, Brown reportedly hit Arlene Raymond, 25, with a Blackberry cell phone when the two women got into a dispute over the music volume coming from Brown’s car stereo.
Before the hearing began, Brown asked the judge for yet another chance and promised to straighten out her life.
“I’m willing to do whatever I need to do to change,” Brown told the judge, adding that she had made a lot of mistakes.
“I realize that’s not where I want to be. It’s humbled me in ways I never imagined.”
The judge replied: “Ms. Marchand, it’s too little, too late. I’m glad you’re learning something; that’s a positive.”
Aside from the recent scuffle, the judge also found that Brown had traveled outside New York state without permission; had moved from Brooklyn, NY to Mahwah, NJ, without permission; had failed to notify the department of an arrest in Mahwah; had failed to report to probation officers; and had dropped out of court-ordered anger management sessions with a psychologist.
Brown will be eligible for parole in eight months.
During a court appearance in late August, Brown’s lawyers told the judge that she was three-months pregnant. However, no mention was made on Friday by anyone about Brown expecting a baby.
