Vanilla Ice arrested for domestic battery

Rapper held in police custody

Rapper Vanilla Ice was arrested Thursday night for domestic battery, according to Palm Beach County, Fla., sheriffs.

The musician, whose real name is Robert Van Winkle, is currently in police custody and is due in court Friday, according to Lt. Tim Temperato.

Van Winkle, 40, was booked at 10:42 p.m., the sheriff's Web site shows.

On Friday, a judge "will determine if there was probable cause for the arrest," Temperato said.

No further details of the arrest were available.

If the judge decides the arrest was justified, Van Winkle will either be given a bond, or be released on his own recognizance.

TMZ.com was first to report the arrest.
