Rapper Vanilla Ice was arrested for burglary and grand theft in Palm Beach, Florida, on Wednesday, after police found various stolen items at his home.
The ‘Ice Ice Baby’ singer, whose real name is Robert Van Winkle, is accused of stealing items from his next door neighbour whose home he is renovating as part of a show called ‘The Vanilla Ice Project.’
Some of the items found at his home included a pool heater, bicycles and furniture. They have since been returned to the rightful owner.
Winkle was taken into custody and booked at the Palm Beach County Jail. He was later released.
He’s called the incident a “misunderstanding” and said he was confident he would be cleared of all charges.
“It was blown out of proportion. It’s sad that good news doesn’t travel this fast,” he told reporters as he left the jail.
“It’ll all get cleared up, you’ll see.”
Meanwhile, the DIY Network whose the show stars on has released a statement saying it “has been made aware of this situation and is currently looking into the matter.”
