A 99-cent bottle of hair glue is going to cost a lot more for rap singer Foxy Brown.
The hip hop diva was arrested Thursday night after she swore, spit and then squirted the glue at the owner of a beauty supply store after he told her to leave because the store was closing.
Minutes later, Brown, 28, did leave, in the back of a police squad car.
Hayssam Ghoneim, 37, who owns Queen Beauty Supply, said Brown and another woman came into the store just before 9 p.m. Brown paid for the glue, then walked into a bathroom and started fixing her hair.
Ten minutes later, Ghoneim told Brown the store was closing, and she had to leave.
"She was screaming, `I have to finish my hair,'" Ghoneim said. "I told her this is a beauty supply store, not a beauty salon. She was calling me every (profanity) in the book."
Brown squirted the glue at Ghoneim, who ducked, then tossed the bottle on the floor. As Ghoneim called police, Brown spat on the floor and at him, leaving a stain on his shirt, and then walked out.
When police arrived, Brown refused to return to the store, instead swatting and "swinging her arms" when an officer placed his hand on her arm, police said. The officer was "forced to utilize a takedown maneuver" to gain control of Brown. She was charged with resisting an officer, a felony, and simple battery.
Ghoneim said he had never heard of the rapper, whose birth name is Inga Marchand. Her address is listed as Englewood Cliffs, N.J.
"This was her first time in here," Ghoneim said of Brown, who was wearing a denim mini-skirt, short green jacket and high heels. Police did not name the second woman, who was not arrested.
Ghoneim opened the beauty supply store a year ago, selling wigs and hair extensions as well as jewelry, nail and beauty products.
"Ninety-nine cents," he said, holding up a 1-ounce bottle of Salon Pro Hair Bonding Glue. "It's going to cost her a lot more than that."
Brown, who bonded out of jail Friday, could not reached for comment. A woman who answered the phone at her company, Black Roses Entertainment, refused to comment.
It's not the first time Brown's temper has gotten her into trouble. Arrests and warrants for missing court appearances date back to 1997, when at age 17, she spat on hotel workers who told her an iron was not available. In 2005, she was handcuffed in a Manhattan courtroom for talking back to a judge. Last October, she was sentenced to three years probation and anger management counseling in a case involving an attack on two Manhattan manicurists.
"I guess it didn't work," Ghoneim said.
Attorney John Sampson, who has represented Brown in the past, said Brown is legally deaf and he wondered if that played a role in the argument.
"If think you're talking to her and she can't hear you, some people may think she's
ignoring (them). She wouldn't hear you, if she doesn't have her piece in." | Only registered users can write comments.

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
