A New York criminal judge sentenced Foxy Brown to one year in jail on Friday (September 7) for violating her probation multiple times, according to a New York spokesperson for the Department of Probation. The troubled, pregnant rapper received the maximum penalty.

Brown (real name: Inga Marchand) had been in custody at the all-women Rose M. Singer Center at Rikers Island prison since August 22. She was ordered there after violating her probation in two separate incidents (see “Foxy Brown Sent To Jail For Violating Probation”). The violation stems from two separate incidents, Ryan confirmed: Brown’s recent arrest for allegedly assaulting her neighbor with a BlackBerry cell phone and for leaving the jurisdiction of New York without court permission.

In a separate hearing earlier in the day, Brown was indicted on assault charges stemming from the physical encounter with her neighbor.

Spokesman Jack Ryan told that Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson held a “lengthy” hearing in which she scolded the rapper for not abiding by her probation guidelines, which included attending anger-management classes and regular meetings with a probation officer.

Ryan also said Brown failed to report her arrest in the Brooklyn case and a separate infraction in which the rapper changed her primary address from Brooklyn to a New Jersey address without reporting the switch to the probation office.

“She had a [previous] violation and pleaded guilty and got restored to probation [before],” Ryan explained. “So she had a chance. She just didn’t obey a number of conditions. We told the judge that she was not compliant and the judge decided to terminate her probation and place her in jail.”

Ryan confirmed the early hearing in Brooklyn had no bearing on Brown’s sentencing.

Foxy Brown was hauled off to jail Wednesday after a judge revoked her probation. The 27-year-old rapper was accused of violating the terms of her release after she was arrested earlier this month on charges she smacked her neighbor with her cell phone. Authorities said Brown also skipped her anger management classes and traveled out of the city without permission. Foxy, foxy, foxy, why can’t you just act like a lady? I know it’s been a long time since you’ve been famous, but girl, hitting won’t solve anger, there is something call anger management classes, take one you will like it. You’ll have time to tone down that anger in jail. Shame on you…grow up! I know you cannot be a good enough rapper and your plight today is enough evidence of the same but one thing you can strive to be and may be find some success that you have to tasted for a long time is that you can be a good person, now I suppose that would be a tall ask from you as well. Then the only thing I guess that’s left for you to do is sit back in the jail and regroup yourself.
