Vanilla Ice was arrested for burglary in Florida on Wednesday, Lantana, Fla. police chief Sean Scheller confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.

Ice, whose real name is Robert Van Winkle, was taken into custody for a burglary that happened adjacent to where he was renovating a home for his Vanilla Ice Project reality show.

The burglary happened sometime within the last month, Scheller said, and Van Winkle, who hasn't been booked yet, is being charged with burglary and grand theft.

Numerous items of furniture, a pool heater, bicycles and other items were removed from the residence, police said.

During an investigation into the house adjacent to the one Van Winkle was renovating, authorities obtained a search warrant and found several of the stolen items at his residence, leading them to determine that the rapper played a role in the crime, Scheller confirmed.

Van Winkle is currently with investigators trying to locate all of the items that were taken. Van Winkle is being very cooperative, Scheller tells THR. He will be booked with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Department.

Looks like he wasn't ninja enough.

I guess Suge took ALL of his money.

 

[bodyboarder]

I assume he isn't rich anymore?

 

[Telcius]

Keyword there is "had"

 

[acksman]

Stop! Collaborate and listen.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Bob Van Winkle is an amazing name.

Rekonize.

 

[Data West]

Keyword there is "had"

No, like recently. He made a bunch of money in the stock market.

 

[Tobor]

Will he ever stop?

Yo, I don't know.

 

[Talyn]

Will he ever stop?

Yo, I don't know.

Edit: DAMNIT!

Rekonize.

This has me in tears.

[Barkley's Justice]

Don't shit where you sleep, bruh

 

[RPGCrazied]

Guess he won't be on Food Network anymore.

 

[BFIB]

I hope he stopped, collaborated and listened when he was arrested.

 

[Jarrod38]

Vanilla Ice has been melted.

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

Turn off the lights and I'll glow...




...My flashlight into your windows while you're out of the house.

Rob the house like a vandal

 

[BitStyle]

This. What brought him to do this?

 

[CountAntonius]

Go Ninja Go Ninja Go

[joelseph]

Such a wonderful opportunity for low hanging temperature puns, cool.

 

[Kurdel]

Why did I just learn his real name is Robert Van Winkle?

 

[gutter_trash]

Anything less than the best is a felony

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Let me get this straight, dude stole items from an adjacent property and kept them at his property? I mean, can you be more daft?

Conspiracy theory: It's a set-up.

 

[RustyNails]

Damn, stealing a pool heater too?

If there was a problem yo he'll solve it.

 

[Aquamarine]

Mr. Van Winkle seems to have lost his cool.

 

[Sectorseven]

Vanilla Ice is Florida Man? I think I just crossed into the nexus of the universe.

 

[Jag]

vice..vice...baby.

End up on TV in a dope-ass scandal.

 

[RedNumberFive]

I'm just going to come out and say that "The Vanilla Ice Project", and to a lesser extent "Vanilla Ice Goes Amish", are two of my favorite guilty pleasures.

 

[Kreed]

Missed G-A-F opportunity.

Not when it's always Florida.

 

[fallengorn]

Missed G-A-F opportunity.

C'mon... Ice can afford to fly to Germany or Australia.

 

[Kaladin]

How can he be a burglar if he glows in the dark?

 

[Kowalski]

Come on Vanilla Ice, why would you do such a thing. For shame.

 

[crimzonflame]

Vanilla Ice is Florida Man? I think I just crossed into the nexus of the universe.

Miami's on the scene just in case you didn't know it

 

[Kaladin]

Come on Vanilla Ice, why would you do such a thing. For shame.

Anything less than the best is a felony.

Brilliant. Thanks for the laugh. I needed it.

 

[Eos]

forced by suge knight probably

 

[Opiate]

This is very strange behavior for someone in his position. It's possible he has a kleptomaniac, but this is different than (for instance) a celebrity who murders someone. Hating someone else or simply wanting them dead knows no economic boundaries; steeling a couch generally does.

 

[zma1013]

He just got a bum rap.
