Rapper held by police yet again

Foxy Brown has been taken to a New Jersey police station on after being pulled over by cops.

Brown, whose real name is Inge Marchand was apprehended last Wednesday (August 15) after she was pulled over for driving while talking on a mobile phone and running a stop sign.

When police pulled her over, she reportedly lied to them about her name and age, and after they asked her for the correct information, a record check showed her to be driving on a suspended license, reports the Associated Press.

Brown was then taken to the police station, where she was issued with seven traffic tickets and was then ordered to appear in court on September 4.

Brown was arrested in Brooklyn in a separate incident last week after allegedly hitting her neighbour with a Blackberry device. She is also on probation for an assault on a Bloomies salon employee in New York in 2004, and was also arrested a number of months ago for assaulting a beauty shop employee in Florida.
