In an April 2003 incident,
Foxx and an entourage of seven people walked into Harrah's Casino in
New Orleans and refused to comply with security guards' request that
they show some form of identification. When the guards persisted in
their request, Foxx
used profanity and launched into a loud tirade, at which point the
security officers asked him to leave. When he still refused, casino
authorities called police. But according to the police, Foxx “became
more irate and started yelling profanities.” Pleading guilty to a
misdemeanor charge of disturbing the peace, Foxx was sentenced
to a six-month suspended jail term with two years probation and a
$1,500 fine.
