Vanilla Ice Charged With Burglary in Florida, Police Say
Vanilla Ice has bailed out of jail after being arrested in connection with a home burglary, authorities said today.
The former rapper, whose real name is Robert Van Winkle, was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail, and charged with burglary residence and grand theft, according to a Chief Sean Scheller at the Lantana Police Department. He was released from jail tonight.
Van Winkle spoke to West Palm Beach, Florida, ABC affiliate WPBF. “It’s just out of proportion I wish you guys would focus on the good things I’ve done,” he told the station. Asked if the incident is part of his reality show, he laughed and said, “I wish it was—there’s nothing fun about this. I wish everyone the best and maybe the good news will travel this fast.”
