*UPDATED* The man famed for being a one-hit-wonder, a Madonna 'Sex' book model, a reality TV 'star', and source of inspiration for Jedward has been arrested by the pol-ice, ice baby (apologies).

Robert Van(illa Ice) Winkle has been nicked for an incident that reportedly took place between December last and February in a spot called Lantana. The property was allegedly beside a house he was working on for his latest reality TV show - the The Vanilla Ice Project. We're assuming that makes him a cross between Kevin McCloud, Xzibit (but more Tim Westwood, really), and Handy Andy

Us Weekly reports that: "A Lantana PD spokesperson tells Us that several items were stolen from a house in foreclosure near the one that the Ice, Ice Baby rapper was working on. The items included furniture, bicycles, and a pool heater. Authorities recovered the stolen property after obtaining a search warrant for the TV host's Palm Beach County house."

A police statement reads: "During the investigation, it was determined Robert Matthew Van Winkle played a role in the burglary and theft."

Van Winkle previously pulled a gun on a police office in 1991, and was involved in two recorded domestic incidents. 

UPDATE: Van Winkle has since been released from police custody after his arrest. Speaking to media outside the station he said the incident was a "misunderstanding" and that he was sad that "good news never travels this fast."
