Wife of Vanilla Ice Drops Charges
Rapper Vanilla Ice won't be prosecuted for allegedly hitting his wife after all.
People magazine reported that Palm Beach County, Florida prosecutors said they decided against filing criminal charges against the rapper, real name Robert Van Winkle.
"There is insufficient credible evidence...due to the victim recanting her original statement and lack of an independent witness."
Vanilla Ice was arrested April 10 in Wellington, Florida after his wife told law enforcement officials he allegedly struck and kicked her.
Winkle attorney Bradford M. Cohen told the magazine:
"It was just a verbal argument. He didn't physically harm his wife."
A restraining order against the rapper has also been lifted.
