Vanilla Ice is still in custody at Palm Beach County Jail. Palm Beach County Sheriff's tell TMZ that in most cases, people arrested for domestic violence are usually held over to see a judge. Looks like Mr. Van Winkle will spend a night in the pokey.

16. After a good nights rest at Palm Beach County lockup, he can book out in the morning, go back and finish the job ;)

18. Two sides to every story. I like Vanilla, he seems like a cool guy. I'm sure we will hear more.

19. i don't fault anybody who has made a celebrity of themselves where i haven't been able to, but i was in prison when "ice" ran like little girl away from willis, (i think it was and pardon me if i'm mistaken), who was the brother of gary coleman's character on different strokes, in the very first "celebrity boxing matches" they had back in 2001 or 2002, i believe it was..he puts on an air of being macho but he literally punched like a girl, maybe once or twice, and ran away like a little sissy the rest of the match, (not meaning to compare to homosexuals, but a scared little guy)..and all the black guys were laughing and screaming, "look at that little white girl run from the black guy"..thanks a lot V.I...and yes, i certainly would have done better..there can only be one winner, but you get respect if you at least show some sense of defending yourself..i can't imagine he could ever show his face in public after that..he's probably a nice guy, i'm just saying he shamed me for being white that day...

23. I used to be a fan. Now I have no respect for the man.

"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." - Isaac Asimov

Domestic abuse/battery is a serious crime. No man has the right to hit his girlfriend/wife/mom/friend but for some reason many think they do.

FlBiker- Sounds like you could use some information on domestic abuse /battery since you seem to think its funny or something.

Here is a website for you (and anyone else who is interested in learning more about domestic violence):
