Jamie Foxx’s past arrest was super serious. According to CNN, Foxx got arrested in the Spring of 2003 while visiting a casino in New Orleans with his sister, Deidra Dixon. The report states that Foxx and his younger sibling became angry after the casino’s security guards barred them from entering until they presented their I.D. However, the siblings refused to vacate the premises and caused a commotion. After the security guards alerted higher authorities, Foxx and Dixon ended up in a physical altercation with cops that resulted in serious injuries on both sides.
Entertainment Weekly reported that Foxx spent a mere 20 minutes behind bars. Meanwhile, Deidra stayed locked up for several hours. Both were released on bonds, which amounted to just under $8,000. A few months later, Foxx faced a judge and pleaded not guilty to his charges, the most severe of which included battery on police officers, according to KPLCTV. At the time, Deidra hadn’t been formally charged.

It’s also worth noting that Deidra shouldn’t be confused with Foxx’s other sister, DeOndra Dixon, who died in 2020.
