“We have good reason to believe that this favorable result was reached because of the proactive and assertive approach taken to protect T.I.’s rights by providing B.O.P. officials and the media with reliable and accurate information and that T.I. did not intend to violate his transfer furlough or any other B.O.P. rules en route from the prison facility in Arkansas to the halfway house in Atlanta.

Foxy Brown avoids going to Jail

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

Foxy Brown avoided a jail sentence yesterday when all but one charge against her stemming from a July incident, were dropped.

Foxy, born Inga Marchand, was two felony charges and three misdemeanors, but all charges were dismissed except one.

A grand jury charged Foxy Brown with violating a court order that bars her from having contact with her Prospect Heights, Brooklyn neighbor, Arlene Raymond.

Foxy and Arlene Raymond have a long history of feuding. In addition to the protection order, the rapper was sentenced to probation from striking Raymond with a Blackberry during an argument in the neighborhood in 2007.

As a result Foxy was ordered to stay away from Raymond and was also forced to write a written apology to the woman for assaulting her.

They squared off again in Prospect Heights, when Foxy allegedly spewed profanity at Raymond and “mooned” her.

If convicted on the one count, Foxy Brown would have to serve community service.
