What are the charges against Christopher and Thomas Fox?
The police arrested Christopher Fox, 30, and his father Thomas Fox, 65, in their Upper East Side apartment during an early morning sweep. The cops discovered an array of illegal substances and objects, including pills, fentanyl, heroin, and formaldehyde with potentially dangerous items like pressure cookers, propane, chloroform, and explosive materials. Additionally, 3D printers, which are commonly used to make untraceable ghost guns, were also seized by authorities. However, authorities appeared to focus on Christopher, who had the items in his room. According to police, Christopher, who was once described by his sister Julia as a "mad scientist recluse," has been charged with several offenses, including criminal possession of a controlled substance, manufacture of a machine gun, manufacture of a rapid-fire modified device, manufacture of a dangerous instrument, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a firearm, and criminal use of drug paraphernalia. In his mugshot photo, Christopher appeared disheveled, with unkempt hair and stubble. He was awaiting arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court on Thursday. On the other hand, Thomas has not been charged, and neither father nor son have a prior criminal history.
Who are Julia fox's father and brother?
Fox and her younger brother Christopher were raised in New York City by their single father Thomas. When Fox was six years old, she and they relocated to New York City, eventually settling in Manhattan's Yorkville neighborhood. Fox disclosed in a 2019 interview with Highsnobiety that she grew up mostly uptown and moved around a lot with her father, who is a seventh-generation New Yorker. She described her father as "out of his mind" and a "poor guy". Fox further revealed that they had experienced homelessness at one point, and as a result, she had lived in almost every neighborhood in the city, including Harlem and Chelsea.
She eventually settled downtown when she turned 17 and has remained there ever since. In the same interview, Fox referred to her 30-year-old brother Christopher as a 'mad scientist' who still lives in New York but is not an active part of her life. She mentioned that he enjoys building 3D printers for fun.
An exclusive source revealed to DailyMail.com that Fox has not been in contact with either her father or brother for several years. The source claims that both Christopher and Julia were raised by their unstable, abusive, and unhinged father, who has caused her "emotional trauma" that will affect her for the rest of her life.
While Fox was aware of her father and brother's 3D printing and suspected drug usage, she has no direct knowledge of their actions. The source further revealed, "Her dad is insane and has caused her emotional trauma that she will have to deal with for the rest of her life. She knew that one day his life would catch up with him. She is glad that no one was hurt by his disgusting actions."
