Police earlier in the day searched the home of Robert Van
Winkle, which is the musician's legal name. They found there
objects that had been stolen in recent months, according to a
news release from the Lantana Police Department.
The home, which is under construction, is also where the artist
is shooting his latest venture, a reality TV show for the DIY
Network called “The Vanilla Ice Project."
The rapper, best known for the song “Ice, Ice Baby,” met with
investigators and offered a sworn statement before he was taken
into custody, according to the news release.
He was expected to be charged with burglary of a residence and
grand theft, Lantana Police Department Chief Sean Scheller told
Reuters.
It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney.
If jailed, he may have to spend the night until he can make a
first court appearance in the morning, according to Palm Beach
County State Attorney’s Office spokeswoman Natalie Cruz.
