Jamie Foxx Gets Probation for Fight
18 minutes ago


NEW ORLEANS - Comedian Jamie Foxx (news) has been placed on two years probation and fined $1,500 after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge stemming from an altercation with security guards at a casino.



Foxx entered the plea Wednesday to disturbing the peace, District Attorney Eddie Jordan announced Friday. Foxx was given a six-month suspended jail sentence in addition to the probation and fine.


The entertainer's sister, Deidre Dixon, pleaded guilty to a felony count of battery on a police officer with injury and to misdemeanor charges of disturbing the peace and resisting arrest.


She was given a suspended sentence of five years in prison for the felony and one year suspended for the misdemeanors. She was placed on five years probation.


Criminal District Judge Frank Marullo fined Dixon $1,500 and ordered her to pay $13,000 in restitution to the officers involved.


As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors dismissed two felony battery counts against Foxx and one count against Dixon.


In a fracas captured by security cameras at Harrah's New Orleans Casino, Foxx and Dixon were arrested April 26, 2003. Police said the two and a group of their friends refused to show identification at the door, then went into the casino and refused to leave.


Authorities said that when police tried to handcuff Dixon, she struggled, freed one of her hands and began swinging the handcuffs still attached to the other hand, hitting a police officer in the face.
