Cops arrested Julia Fox’s father and brother on Wednesday, March 8, on drug and weapons charges. Julia’s father and brother’s arrest, which happened while the actress was out of town, has left her distraught and in shock. Get the details below.
Cops Arrest Julia Fox’s Father And Brother
Julia Fox’s father and brother were arrested this week for illegally possessing drugs and weapons. And at the moment, Julia is stunned and heartbroken by the news, according to a source.
Sources close to the star say that the arrest completely shocked her. Julia is also shocked that her brother, Christopher, was allegedly mixed up in hard drugs and weapons.
Interestingly, before Julia’s father and brother’s arrest, neither Christopher nor their father, Thomas, had a criminal history.
The Post broke the news of their arrest after cops raided their Manhattan apartment and found illegal materials.
They allegedly recovered 3D printers, polymer material, unidentified pills, a pill press, pressure cookers, fentanyl, chloroform, heroin, and propane.
They also discovered formaldehyde, ghost guns, evidence of narcotics manufacturing, and materials often used to make explosives.
Sources say police entered the Upper East Side home around 6 a.m. as part of a larger ghost gun investigation.
According to sources, Julia’s father and brother were taken into custody following the raid, with charges against them pending.
The NYPD confirmed the arrest of two unnamed individuals at the building where Thomas and Christopher live. The spokesperson also confirmed that the arrest has no links to terrorism.
Julia Fox’s Brother Is A Brilliant Scientist
Julia Fox was out of town during the raid. She is also believed not to have known about her family’s alleged crimes, sources told The Post.
The actress has been vocal about growing up in the city with her single dad and brother. She also previously revealed that she doesn’t see her brother often.
“He’s like a mad scientist recluse,” Julia previously said of her brother in an interview in 2019. “He builds 3D printers for fun.”
A source told Page Six that Julia thinks her brother Chris is “brilliant,” but added, “while Julia has found a creative path after a difficult childhood, he’s struggled to believe in himself enough to put his mind to use.”
Relatives also described Julia’s brother as a “mad scientist” type who liked to do experiments but said he was a gentle guy who “wouldn’t hurt a fly.”
Understandably, Julia Fox’s father and brother’s arrest has left her heartbroken. They face grievous charges and may have to spend much time in jail. Hopefully, Julia will find comfort in friends and support her remaining family.
