MIAMI, April 27 (UPI) -- Rapper Foxy Brown reportedly has accepted a plea deal on a Florida assault charge and will not be forced to return to jail.
The "Broken Silence" rapper agreed to six months of probation, along with 15 hours of community service, in relation to assault charges filed against her by a Miami beauty supply store employee, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Friday.
The employee had accused Brown of attacking her in March 2007 after she told the 28-year-old rapper to leave since the store was closing.
Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, was charged with misdemeanor battery and was facing a potential two-year prison sentence.
Marchand was just released last Friday from Riker's Island Prison in New York, where she had served eight months for various probation violations.
The Chronicle said as part of the new plea deal, Marchand will also be required to write letters of apology to both the employee and the owner of the beauty store.
