Legendary rapper and television actor Ice-T is still fuming over being arrested in Manhattan on July 20th for allegedly driving with a suspend license and not wearing a seat belt. The rapper has stated that he may take his battle with the New York Police Department to court.
“You deal with a lot of cops and you end up with that one bad apple that wants to go in,” Ice-T told TMZ.com. “I aint been handcuffs in 15 years so it was crazy,” Ice-T told TMZ.com. He may sue the DMV and his insurance company. “Basically he took me to jail because he could. At the end of the day, I had insurance. I don’t even have a point on my license. I was outraged because I done broke the law in my life and now you are coming at me with this?”
“At the end of the day, after I get this dismissed ? I either can sue the DMV or the insurance company ? and that?s when I have my revenge.”

Rapper Foxy Brown has been arrested and charged with violating an order of protection from a neighbor; the same neighbor Foxy allegedly hit with a Blackberry back in 2007. According to police reports, Brown, (born Inga Marchand) reportedly called Raymond a ?dirty b**ch? and lifted her skirt and exposed her bare backside while telling Raymond to ?kiss her a**.?
?Foxy is completely innocent of these charges. She is in good spirits and will be performing at B.B. Kings this Sunday,? Brown?s manager Bernadette Brennan told AllHipHop.com. ?We are going to clear our client of all charges and continue to move forward in a productive and successful manner. Foxy is feeling good and she?s happy to be back in the studio and making music. We also intend to prove that an order of protection should be used as a shield and not a sword.”
Brown was arrested and formally charged with six criminal offenses, including public lewdness, criminal contempt, menacing and harassment.
