According to the New York Daily News, the alleged hooker charged with attacking Foxy Brown was released from Rikers Island yesterday after the rapper refused to sing to a grand jury.
The district attorney’s office had until 5 p.m. yesterday to indict Roshawn Anthony, 23, on robbery, assault, menacing, harassment and other charges in the Saturday attack on the rap diva in Brooklyn.
But when Brown wouldn’t testify, Anthony walked, a law enforcement source said.
The trouble-prone rapper also refused to dish on her jilted boyfriend, Timothy Collier, 33, a small-time pimp who allegedly unleashed three gal pals on Brown after she dumped him Saturday morning, police sources said.
“We don’t know anything about that,” said an older woman who answered the door at Collier’s apartment in the Louis H. Pink Houses in East New York.
Neighbors said they had seen the couple together over the past few weeks, but had not seen Collier since Monday.
Brown gave the ex-con the boot after learning he was a pimp, police sources said.
