"To whom it may concern," the statement said. "I apologize for the incident that occurred on July 31, 2007, in that I attempted to scare Arlene Raymond and place her in harm's way."

"They knew this was a weak case," the Post said Marchand told reporters after the court hearing.

The recording artist recently finished a sentencein jail on Rikers Island for violating probation in another case.

"I did my time, held my head high and now I'll do what I do best -- make great music," she said.
