Julia Fox speaks out after brother Christopher Fox arrested on gun, drug charges in police raid
Julia Fox is speaking out on her brother, Christopher Fox's, arrest after police raided a residence and arrested him on weapons and drug charges.
Christopher Fox, 30, was arrested March 8 after the New York Police Department raided his apartment after obtaining a search warrant related to an ongoing investigation into ghost guns and narcotics, NYPD confirmed to USA TODAY in an email March 9.
“The NYPD’s Ghost Gun Team seized several ghost gun parts, as well as equipment for pressing narcotics pills,” an NYPD spokesperson said in a statement. “Team members also discovered materials typically used as components in explosives, including pressure cookers and various chemicals, which can also be used for manufacturing narcotics. … The found chemicals were deemed non-hazardous.”

Julia Fox spoke out about her brother's arrest on TikTok Thursday, saying she's "embarrassed" by the situation.
"I know my brother and I've always known him to be … the sweetest, most gentle, kind, soft-spoken (person)," Julia Fox said. "But I will say that both my brother and I have a lot of trauma."
Julia Fox said while she's been able "to release a lot of that rage" from childhood trauma, her brother "internalized it."

Christopher Fox was arrested on a total of seven charges: criminal possession of a controlled substance, manufacture of a machine gun, manufacture of a rapid fire mod device, manufacture of a dangerous instrument, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a firearm and criminal use of drug paraphernalia.
The spokesperson added that “the matter is believed to be contained” and has “no apparent nexus to terrorism.” A full investigation is underway.
Ghost guns are firearms that are “often assembled from kits, do not contain serial numbers and are sold without background checks, making them difficult to trace and easy to acquire by criminals,” according to a press release from the Department of Justice’s Office of Public Affairs.
“NYPD will continue to fight relentlessly against illegal guns – against both the steady proliferation of traditionally-manufactured firearms and the increasingly prevalent numbers of illegal, untraceable but fully functioning weapons known as ghost guns,” the NYPD spokesperson said.
