The apple doesn't fall far from that
Marchand tree!
Foxy Brown's brother,
Gavin "Pretty Boy" Marchand,
seems to be
following his anger-management-needing sister by getting himself arrested for allegedly going on a pre-birthday shopping spree with someone else's credit cards.
Marchand, who has hit the stage with his sis as her sidekick, was arrested last week along with three other accomplices. The 35-year-old man, aka "Pretty Boy," was caught red-handed trying to purchase $8,000 worth of Hermès clothing from the New York City Madison Avenue boutique with a stolen Amex card.
Police recently released details of the arrest and reports stated that Marchand arrived at the posh store with three other associates. Marchand's 31-year-old buddy, Warren David, allegedly handed over the stolen corporate card to a salesperson who was suspicious of the card's look; it's unusual back strip and front lettering raised a red flag.
Marchand then handed over a MasterCard to the sales clerk, which also had an odd look. When the clerk held the card under a black light, it was revealed that it, too, was not legit.
David then pulled out anther Amex card - in what appeared to be a desperate attempt to purchase the $7,882.55 designer dud. This go-round, the Amex card was successful, but too late, police had been alerted.
Marchand, David and two other men (Ryan Campbell, 32, and Derwin Benoit, 34) tried to escape, forcing police on a 90 mph chase through the streets of New York. When police finally apprehended the men, they found that strewn all around the getaway vehicle's interior were stolen credit cards and receipts.
Marchand, who was indicted on Friday, and his three bumbling musketeers were all charged with grand larceny and identity theft. If convicted, all four men could face more than 5 years in prison.
Meanwhile Foxy, who is rather tied up facing a heap of legal woes of her own, told the New York Post regarding her brother's case, "I don't know anything about that."
