     *The long arm of the law just reached out and grabbed Da Brat. Today the rapper was sentenced to three years of jail time for striking a waitress with a rum bottle at an Atlanta nightclub last year.

     Da Brat, whose real name is Shawntae Harris, 34, will also have do seven years probation and 200 hours of community service for the incident.

     It was last year in October that Da Brat mixed it up with the waitress at a Halloween party at Studio 72.

     According to reports, the woman was hit in the face with a bottle of rum, causing numerous cuts on her face. The waitress was taken to a hospital for treatment. Police said the Halloween attack wasn't the first time Da Brat and the victim were involved in a physical altercation.

     Harris entered a guilty plea to aggravated assault in the case.

     Apparently she's not called Da Brat for nothing. In 2000 she faced charges for beating a woman with a gun during a dispute over VIP seating in a nightclub. The victim in that incident received six stitches for a head wound, but the case never went to trial, reports MTV.
