Foxy Brown Busted

FEBRUARY 16--Meet Inga Marchand. Better known as the rapper Foxy Brown, Marchand, 28, was arrested yesterday by Florida cops after she allegedly went nuts at a beauty supply store in Pembroke Pines. According to a probable cause affidavit, an employee of Queen Beauty Supply spotted Marchand 'utilizing beauty products' in the store's bathroom and told the performer that the shop was closed. The temperamental Marchand allegedly responded by spitting on the worker and throwing hair glue at him. When cops responded to a 911 call, Marchand swatted an officer's hand away and began 'swinging her arms and struggling' with the cop. As he noted in his affidavit, Officer D. Cuba was 'forced to utilize a takedown maneuver to gain control' of Marchand, who was charged with battery and obstruction of justice. She was booked into the Broward County lockup, where a sheriff's representative snapped the below mug shot. Brown has previously been arrested on several occasions, most recently for attacking manicurists at a Manhattan salon. As a result of that confrontation, Marchand was sentenced to three years probation and ordered to attend anger management classes. Following a court appearance last month in New York, Marchand told reporters that 'probation forces you into structure...I have matured a lot since I started the anger management.' (1 page)
