Comedian Foxx Arrested in New Orleans

Apr 26, 3:51 PM (ET)

 

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Comedian Jamie Foxx and his sister were arrested early Saturday after allegedly refusing to leave a casino and then fighting with police officers called to escort them out, authorities said.

 

Foxx, 35, and Deidra Dixon, 25, refused to show identification when they entered Harrah's Casino about 4 a.m., then argued with security guards who ordered them to leave, said police Capt. Marlon A. Defillo. He said the two walked inside to a gambling table, then fought with police officers who were called to remove them.

 

Dixon struck one officer in the face, Defillo said. He said the officers used pepper spray and handcuffed them.

 

Foxx, booked with trespassing, battery on officers and resisting arrest, was released on $1,900 bond. Dixon, of Tarzana, Calif., was booked with trespassing, simple battery on officers and resisting arrest.

 

A call to Foxx's publicist, Matt Labov, was not immediately returned Saturday.

 

Foxx was in New Orleans for filming of the movie "Unchain My Heart." A woman who answered the phone for the company handling publicity for the film declined to comment and would not give her name.

 

Foxx, who lives in Hollywood, created and starred in "The Jamie Foxx Show" (1996-2001) and has appeared in other television shows and movies, including 1999's "Any Given Sunday."
