Robert Van Winkle, better known as Vanilla Ice, faces burglary and grand theft charges after a Florida home that was under foreclosure was burglarized between December 2014 and February 2015.

“It’s a misunderstanding, it was blown out of proportion. It’s sad that good news doesn’t travel this fast,” Van Winkle told reporters after being released from Palm County Beach Jail. “It’s just out of proportion and I wish you guys would focus on all the good things I’ve done.” He added, “It’ll all get cleared up, you’ll see.”

The home in question was in foreclosure, and Van Winkle, who runs the DIY Network home renovation show “The Vanilla Ice Project,” was renovating the home next door. Police found the stolen items at a residence under his control.

“DIY Network has been made aware of this situation and is currently looking into the matter,” the network said in a statement.

The real estate broker of the home in question is more annoyed than upset about the burglary. “Whoever it is, why would you jeopardize going to jail for basically junk? It was just worthless furniture and some items so it doesn’t make much sense,” Jim Lovely said. “The house wasn’t full of Picassos, so it wasn’t a high-dollar heist, so it’s just the principal of having to secure the place two and three times.
