*Recent inmate Foxy Brown will avoid more jail time after taking a plea deal Thursday in her Brooklyn Blackberry Beatdown case.

      The rapper made it to her rescheduled hearing in Brooklyn Criminal Court Thursday and entered a guilty plea to one misdemeanor charge of menacing. A felony assault charge was thrown out by the prosecution as part of the plea deal.

      She was sentenced to time served, and a letter of apology was submitted. "She basically had to write a letter of apology to the victim, and a full order of protection was also issued," Kings County District Attorney's Office rep Sandy Silverstein told E! News.

       On Monday, the judge mistakenly issued a bench warrant for Brown's arrest when she failed to turn up for a hearing. The warrant was rescinded after the judge determined there was a clerical error by failing to note the hearing was changed to Thursday.

      Brown is also expected to plead out this week in a misdemeanor assault case in Pembroke Pines, Fla., stemming from a February 2007 incident in which she was arrested for causing a disturbance in a beauty shop and allegedly spitting on an employee.
