Actor Julia Fox's Bro Arrested After UES Ghost Gun Search: Police

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — Actor Julia Fox's brother was arrested on Wednesday after an investigation and raid by a NYPD crime squad turned up ghost gun parts, narcotics and equipment for pressing pills, according to reports and police officials.

Christopher Fox, 30, brother of famous actor Fox, was arrested and hit with multiple weapons and drug charges after a special NYPD intelligence team raid at their East 84th Street apartment near Third Avenue, according to police.

The "Uncut Gems" star had previously described her brother as a "mad scientist" and an avid 3-D printing hobbyist.

On Wednesday morning, members of the NYPD Major Case Field Intelligence Team raiding the apartment in connection to what a police spokesperson called a "specialized, long-term investigation into ghost guns and narcotics."

The Ghost Gun team found several ghost gun parts inside the apartment, as well as materials that can be used in manufacturing narcotics and pill-pressing material, officials said.

Police took both Fox's brother and another person into custody, officials told Patch.

According to both the Daily News and the New York Post, the other person was Fox's father, who was not charged with any crime.

Other chemicals were found alongside pressure cookers that investigators believed could have been used in explosives, but subsequent specialist teams found the chemicals to not be hazardous, according to police.

Police said that Christopher was charged with weapons and gun charges, including the manufacture of a machine gun, and is pending arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court as of Thursday morning.

"The 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 police spokesperson added.

No connection to terrorism is suspected, officials said.
