Foxy Brown Speaks on Fla. Incident
Foxy Brown claims brutality in Feb 15. Florida arrest.
Foxy Brown addressed media yesterday at Brown Memorial Baptist Church in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, on a Feb. 15 incident in Florida which lead to her arrest. Speaking to a crowd of reporters and community leaders, Brown said she was dragged half-naked from the restroom and attacked by the arresting officers because she is black. "I was exposed from the waist down on the toilet," she said. "The only crime I'm guilty of is being a young black woman."
Brown was arrested at a beauty shop in Pembroke Pines, Florida, on Feb. 15, after allegedly throwing nail glue at the store owner, who the called police. The official report states she was engaged in a minor altercation with an officer in the parking lot, and that she wished to file a complaint against the arresting police. Brown was charged with resisting an officer and simple battery.
Supported by her pastor, Rev. Clinton Miller; her lawyer, Senator John Sampson; and community leaders Dr. Benjamin Chavis, Rev. Al Sharpton, and Sen. Marc Adams; Brown gave her version of the incident. She said she was using the restroom when the store owner refused to let her finish, and pulled her from the toilet.
Brown was previously ordered three years' probation and anger management classes for scuffling with manicurists last August in New York. Last month, she received an "excellent" probation report after appearing in Manhattan Criminal Court. Brown said she intends to press charges against the Pembroke Pines Police Department. She is scheduled to appear in front of a Manhattan judge again this week.

This goes out to the (truthteller), you ain't gotta tell me she was lying, cause just to come up with the story she did is some bull&%$# She wasn't supposed to live her probation area and got caught up in that sh*^ Now she has to explain to the PO, Judge why she left in the first place without permission, so what I believe is that she's getting ready to head for the POKEY for a little while. Because that little Probation she had to do was nothing, so I guess she said she's "ABOVE THE LAW" Inga is not "foxy" and what she's doing is not CUTE. Later for the HUSSIE!!!!!

I went to this press conference and Foxy is lying. Brown Memorial is not her church, her church is Love Fellowship, Hezekiah Walker's church. And Rev. Miller was noe even there. He just donated the space as a favor to John Sampson. Check the wireimages. You wont find 1 pic of Foxy & Rev Miller. No one believes this story. She is just trying not to go to jail.

Of course, I don't agree with her past crimes, but if she is telling the truth about this incident, then I hope justice prevails. How embarrassing. What could she have been doing for them to arrest her while she was on the toilet???

Later for this HUSSIE!! Inga has gotta come up with a better story than this, if this incident did happen I wonder did the store have any CAMERAS to show what actually took place! And not even that she didn't have "permission" to even leave to go down FLORIDA! So if anything she's trying to make everybody believe she was the victim of this ordeal, knowing that she wasn't supposed to be down there in the first place. Her probation officer didn't even know she went down there, so if she did get into something it's because she disobeyed the Court!!! Or did she forget about that one little thing she was on called "PROBATION" How stupid are you to avoid jail time for probation, and you decide to just "do what you feel like" knowing that you didn't alert your PO about your ideas of leaving your probation area??? So later for her explanation of how you were treated in a place obviously you weren't supposed to be in the first place. DUMMY!!!!!
