The sexually ambiguous mugshot above was taken by one of the children of the late great godfather of soul, James Brown but is this the son or daughter of the legendary soul singer?

Take a wild guess first.

Details below…

GossipOnThis hilariously reports that despite what it appears, the person pictured in the mugshot photo is a woman, and her name is Venisha Brown, daughter of the late James Brown.

[Sidebar: I personally woulda guessed a male… but what do I know?]

According to reports, the 47-year-old woman was arrested after she allegedly stole a church vehicle from St. Stephen Ministries in Richmond Country, Georgia.

And if stealing from a church wasn’t enough, Brown is also accused of assaulted her boss during the incident!

Hope Ellis Campbell (Brown?s boss) told authorities that she spotted Brown driving the stolen Chevrolet Suburban and when she stuck her hands into the car to try and retrieve the keys, Brown accelerated and drove off, causing Campbell to get tossed over the hood of a nearby parked car.

The Augusta Chronicle reports that they recovered the stolen vehicle at about 1 a.m. the next morning.

About two hours later, deputies responded to a call about an altercation, where Brown was found arguing with ANOTHER woman.

Venisha was arrested and charged with possession of a stolen vehicle, leaving the scene of an accident, and first-degree assault and battery. She is currently being held at the Richmond County jail.

Venisha is but one legacy James Brown left to the world… this video is another…
