The 47-year-old rapper, whose legal name is Robert Matthew VanWinkle, is accused of stealing a pool heater, bicycles and furniture from a home going through foreclosure next door to one he was renovating. In recent years, his work as a contractor has been featured on DIY Network's The Vanilla Ice Project, and according to The Hollywood Reporter , the Lantana home was being filmed for the show.


The burglary took place sometime between December and February, police said, and as part of their investigation, detectives obtained a search warrant for a home of Vanilla Ice's in unincorporated Palm Beach County. Inside, they found several of the stolen items, which were returned to their owner.


After providing a sworn statement to police, Ice was taken into custody on suspicion of grand theft and burglary.
