FOXY BROWN GETS MORE JAIL TIME:

FOXY BROWN GETS MORE JAIL TIME:
 
FOXY BROWN GETS MORE JAIL TIME: She's now looking at a year in Rikers. She's now looking at a year in Rikers.
*It looks like all the constant brushes with the law have finally ended up working against rapper Foxy Brown, which should come as no surprise.

      On Friday, looking tired and worn out, she was sentenced to one year in jail for violating probation stemming from a fight with two manicurists in a New York City salon.

      "I'm not going to give you any more chances," Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson told Brown. "I hope you turn your life around and never again have to stand in a court of law."

      Then to make matters worse, Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, was also indicted in Brooklyn Friday on charges that she smacked a neighbor with a cell phone.

      Back in the court room, Brown confessed to the judge that being in jail for the past month at Rikers Island has, "humbled me in a way I never imagined." However, Judge Jackson wasn't impressed, and told the rapper, "It's too little too late."

      Jackson noted that Brown has been arrested three times and violated her probation repeatedly since she pleaded guilty last year to hitting a manicurist in a midtown Manhattan salon.

      "My dear, you stand in this position because of your own doing," the judge said.

      Brown was sent back to Riker Island to serve her sentence. Her lawyer says he hopes the rapper only serves eight months, with time offfor good behavior.
