Foxy Brown Won't Get on Bus for Court
   posted 4:58 pm Fri October 12, 2007 - NEW YORK
Foxy Brown, who is serving a one-year jail term, twice refused to get on a correction department bus Friday for a court appearance, the prosecutor's office said. The 28-year-old rapper was arrested in August and accused of striking Arlene Raymond, 25, after the pair got into a fight July 30 over Brown blasting her car stereo near her home in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. On Friday, Brown refused to be taken from Rikers Island prison to be arraigned in Brooklyn Supreme Court.

She is now scheduled to appear in court Tuesday, the prosecutor's office said. If Brown refuses, the court could issue an order allowing correction officers to put her in handcuffs and force her onto the bus.

ABC 7 News myTAKE - What's Your Opinion? Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, is serving a year in jail for violating probation - skipping her court-ordered anger management classes and traveling out of the city without permission. The probation stemmed from her fight with manicurists in a New York City nail salon three years ago.

Her new album, "Brooklyn's Don Diva," is set for release Nov. 20.
