VANILLA ICE SLAPPED WITH RESTRAINING ORDER
LATEST: Rapper VANILLA ICE has been released from jail but ordered by a Florida court to stay away from his wife following his arrest for domestic battery.
On Thursday (10Apr08), the star’s spouse Laura reportedly called police claiming her husband - real name Robert Van Winkle - was kicking and hitting her at their Palm Beach County, Florida home.
According to the arrest report, Laura Van Winkle appeared uninjured, but told cops she wanted a divorce from the star. But she is reported to have reneged on her earlier allegations, insisting her husband had not hit or kicked her, but had pushed her.
Van Winkle - who was arrested in 2004 over similar battery charges - appeared in court at Palm Beach County, where judge Nancy Perez told him he can only contact Laura by phone. Perez also ruled Van Winkle must only communicate with his children through a friend.
The ’90s hip-hop star was escorted by police from the court to his home, to allow him the chance to pick up a few belongings, reports TMZ.com.
