NEW YORK - A woman charged with assaulting and robbing Foxy Brown was
released from jail after the rapper failed to appear before a grand jury
to testify against her.
Roshawn Anthony, 23, was released from Riker's Island on her own
recognizance Thursday but still faces charges of robbery, assault and
grand larceny in the alleged attack last Saturday, according to a
spokesman for the Brooklyn district attorney's office. She has denied the
charges.
Police say Anthony and three other people teamed up to rob Brown of a
Louis Vuitton bag, $500 in cash and credit cards in the East New York
section of Brooklyn.
The 27-year-old rapper, whose real name is Inga Marchand, is no stranger
to violence. She pleaded guilty last year to misdemeanor assault charges
stemming from a fight with salon workers over payment for a manicure in
Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood. Brown is on probation in that case.
She is also facing a battery charge in another incident earlier this
year. Police allege she threw hair glue at a beauty shop employee in
Florida when he asked her to leave because the shop was closing.
Anthony is scheduled to return to court Aug. 9.
