NYC Judge Gives Foxy Brown Another Chance

Rapper Pleads Guilty To Probation Violation

NEW YORK (CBS/AP) ― Rapper Foxy Brown pleaded guilty to a probation violation on Thursday for leaving New York without permission.

Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson said she was giving Brown one more chance.

Brown's sentence will continue the six months probation she is already serving. But Jackson warned that if there are any other probation infractions, "I'm reserving the right to resentence you to jail for one year."

Brown's trip outside New York became very public knowledge when she was arrested during a fracas at a Florida beauty supply store on Feb. 15. Police there charged her with resisting an officer and simple battery.

"The only crime I'm guilty of is being a young black woman," Brown said at a Brooklyn news conference upon returning from Florida.

She previously was sentenced in Manhattan to the probation and anger management classes after a fight at a Chelsea nail salon.

The rapper, whose real name is Inga Marchand, is known for her sexy outfits and racy lyrics. Her albums include "Ill Na Na" and "Chyna Doll."
