Foxy Brown Sent To Jail For A Year

Rapper Foxy Brown has been sent to jail for a year after a judge ruled she had failed to observe the terms of her probation.

New York Judge Melissa Jackson gave Brown the custodial sentence after vowing to treat the star "just like any other defendant" after telling her an apology for violating her probabtion was "too little, too late".

"Probation is a gift that is given to the defendant and I feel very strongly that I gave her the chance to do what she wanted with her life," Jackson stated.

Brown had been sentenced to three years probation and anger management classes last October after assaulting two nail salon stylist, but has been involved in a couple of incidents last month, and has been in jail pending a full hearing.
