Foxy Brown Avoids More Jail Time

May 9th, 2008 | Author: Slava Kuperstein

Foxy Brown avoided further jail time this week after she plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of menacing.

Foxy is alleged to have hit a Brooklyn woman, Arlene Raymond, in the face with a BlackBerry. According to Foxy's lawyer, Laura Dilimetin, the plea deal lets the rapper avoid a felony assault charge.

"There was no penalty and we consider it a victorious day today, and we're moving forward so she can focus on her career, family and fans," Dilimetin said, according to MTV News. "She feels great. She's really happy and excited to move forward. We're very pleased with this outcome."

Foxy was sentenced to time served, which mean she can stay out of jail - for now. A bench warrant was issued earlier this week for Foxy in connection to this case, but the warrant was issued in error due to a scheduling change by the court.

Dilimiten also explained that a civil suit has been filed against Foxy in this case. "We're going to fight this civil lawsuit hard and make sure there are counter-claims against the person who filed it," she said.
