Cops Say Foxy Brown Was Beaten And Robbed; Rapper Denies It - {rss.pubDate}
Foxy Brown ? who's on probation for an assault charge and facing a battery charge in another case ? had another brush with violence over the weekend. But this time, she was the victim, police said. Four people teamed up to rob the racy rapper of a Louis Vuitton bag, $500 in cash and credit cards around 5:30 a.m. Saturday at Crescent Street and Stanley Avenue in the East New York section of Brooklyn, police said. Roshawn Anthony, 23, was arrested on robbery charges in the incident, police said. No telephone number could be found for Anthony at the address police provided for her, and police did not know whether she had a lawyer. Information on her arraignment was not immediately available from the Brooklyn district attorney's early Sunday. Brown's lawyer, state Sen. John Sampson, did not immediately return telephone and e-mail messages early Sunday. But Brown told the New York Post that the robbery never happened, and she hadn't been at the location police gave, near a public housing complex. "A lot of the time, people mistake me for someone else, or people always call in these false tips," Brown told the newspaper outside her Brooklyn brownstone Saturday. Police said the rapper, whose real name is Inga Marchand, had indeed been attacked. Brown, 27, is known for her sexy outfits and steamy lyrics. Her albums include the platinum-selling Ill Na Na and Chyna Doll. She pleaded guilty in August 2006 to misdemeanor assault charges stemming from a fight with salon workers over payment for a manicure in Manhattan's Chelsea area on Aug. 29, 2004. She was sentenced in October 2006 to three years' probation. Brown was arrested in Florida on Feb. 15, when police said she threw hair glue at a beauty shop employee when he asked her to leave because the shop was closing. She later struggled with an officer, police said. Charged with battery and resisting an officer with violence in the Florida case, Brown was released after posting a $1,500 bond. That case is pending. The Florida case also brought more legal trouble in New York for Brown. She pleaded guilty in March to a probation violation for leaving New York without permission.
