Not Nice, Baby: Vanilla Ice Charged with Battery
Vanilla Ice (aka Robert Van Winkle, really) was arrested Thursday night at his home in South Florida shortly after his wife Laura called 911, claiming he had kicked and hit her during an argument over buying bedroom furniture. (Ice's wife later amended her statement to say she had only been pushed.)The 39-year-old former rap star was booked on charges of simple domestic battery, and released Friday morning. — MWMUPDATE: Vanilla Ice won't be prosecuted for allegedly beating his wife. "The State declines to file criminal charges," say court papers. "There is insufficient credible evidence... due to the victim recanting her original statement and lack of an independent witness."
