Police Drop WIFE BEATING CHARGES Against Rapper Vanilla Ice

: WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - (AP) Authorities decided against prosecuting Vanilla Ice for a domestic battery charge since his wife recanted her original statement.

The 40-year-old performer (real name: Robert Van Winkle) — who sold 15 million copies of the single "Ice Ice Baby" in 1990 — was arrested April 10 at the couple's home. Authorities said his wife called 911 and claimed he kicked and hit her during an argument. She later told deputies he only pushed her.

In an affidavit provided to Palm Beach County prosecutors, Laura Van Winkle recanted her original allegations. She now says any physical confrontation was accidental.

Prosecutors on Tuesday closed the case.

Instead of calling the police ... She should call Suge Knight. That would do the trick.

Northjerseynik, "Suge had his goons...". Sounds like the move of a bitch-ass ni/gga to me.

Vanilla Ice today has more money than Suge does, so now what? And I don't care what anybody else says I like the song "Ice, Ice, Baby". That song was the snigsit back in the day.

SexyKimmie

He looks really crazy. I saw a video of him on some show a while back and he tore up the set because they asked him a question that pissed him off.
