Vanilla Ice charges dropped

Domestic violence charges against Vanilla Ice have been dropped after his wife Laura Van Winkle withdrew her statement and there were no independent witnesses.

Domestic violence charges brought against Vanilla Ice have been dropped. As we reported earlier this month, the rapper was taken into custody after his wife called police saying that he had hit and kicked her - although she later changed her claims to say that he had pushed her. The alleged incident happened when Ice began arguing with his wife after she bought a new bathroom set without his permission.

According to a court order, Ice's wife Laura Van Winkle withdrew her statement and, as there were no independent witnesses, the case could not continue.
