The Struggle Files: Vanilla Ice Arrested Stealing Furniture From Vacant Home

Florida has enough crazies running around to be worried about former struggle rappers adding to the police paperwork, but Vanilla Ice happened the other day, nonetheless.

The 47-year-old personality born Robbie Van Winkle was busted raiding a vacant house in Lantana, FL like your average run-of-the-mill house squatter.

Via TMZ:

Vanilla Ice has been arrested and charged with burglary and grand theft for allegedly stealing furniture, a pool heater, bicycles and other stuff from a vacant home in Florida.

Lantana PD tells TMZ … it’s all connected to Ice’s TV show, “The Vanilla Ice Project.” Ice was renovating a nearby home and allegedly thought it was a good idea to go to the abandoned place and take the items in question.

Apparently, even though the house was vacant, the rightful owner had a problem with someone jacking their belongings … thus the burglary charge.

The cops got a search warrant and recovered some of the items.

This is good publicity for the existing Vanilla Ice Project, but nobody will care regardless. Just saying.
