90s "Ice Ice Baby" musician Vanilla Ice was released from jail Friday on a charge of simple battery.
Born Robert Van Winkle, the rapper, 39 was booked at 10:42 p.m. Thursday after he and his wife, Laura, got into a spat about buying a bedroom set. (They have two children.)
She initially told police that he kicked and hit her, but then said he only pushed her — which he denies.

This wasn’t Van Winkle’s first brush with the law.
In 2001, he was booked on a domestic battery charge. Three years later, he was fined $200 in in impounding fees when his pet wallaroo and goat escaped from his home and were picked up by animal control officers.
