Foxy Brown Sent to Solitary Confinement

Thursday, October 25, 2007

Jailed rapper Foxy Brown has been ordered to spend 11 weeks in solitary confinement after she traded blows with a fellow inmate.

The 28-year-old star is serving one year in jail for violating her probation. She was on probation for another fight, this time in a New York nail salon.

Now, she faces 23 hours a day in solitary confinement for the next 11 weeks after her latest brawl. It is alleged that she has also refused to take a drug test and has been abusive to guards while in prison.

Foxy Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, has been no stranger to trouble since she was sent to Riker’s Island prison last month.

Already, she has twice refused to get on the bus to go to her own arraignment.

In fact, these are just the latest in a long history of run-ins with the law. When she was 17, she spat on hotel workers in Raleigh N.C. when they told her they did not have an iron available. She received a 30-day suspended sentence and ordered to do 80 hours of community service for that one.

Brown was arrested again in 2002 at an airport in Kingston, Jamaica for an altercation with a police woman. She refused to go to her arraignment. Consequently, Brown was told she will be arrested should she return to Kingston.

Foxy Brown also refused to go to court after she was accused of throwing a mobile phone at a neighbor in August. Though she did appear four days later, where she pleaded not guilty.
