A New York judge has issued a warrant for rapper Foxy Brown’s arrest, after she failed to turn up to court to face allegations of assault, in relation to an incident last year.
The MC, real name Inga Marchand, is accused of hitting 25-year-old Arlene Raymond with her Blackberry cell phone in Brooklyn on July 30th, when a heated argument between the two got out of hand.
Raymond was taken to Brooklyn Hospital following the incident, and was treated for loose teeth and swelling around her lip and right eye.
Brown was subsequently charged with felony assault, menacing, harassment and criminal possession of a weapon when she turned herself into police. She was released on bail and pleaded not guilty to the counts in October.
But Brown failed to show for her latest court date at Brooklyn Criminal Court on Monday, and as a result, a judge has called for the star’s arrest.
Brown’s own defense attorney admitted he didn’t know of her whereabouts and had not heard from her recently.
Meanwhile, Raymond has filed suit against Brown for unspecified damages connected to the alleged assault.
The hip-hop star was recently released from New York’s Riker’s Island Prison after serving eight months of a 12-month sentence for probation violations.
