BURBANK, California (AP) — The rapper Tone Loc has been arrested on suspicion of felony domestic violence in Southern California.
Burbank police Sgt. Tracy Sanchez says 45-year-old Anthony Smith was arrested Saturday. That’s Tone Loc’s real name.
Sanchez could not confirm that the man arrested is Tone Loc, but Smith’s birthdate and description in Los Angeles County jail records match those of the rapper. Sanchez also could not provide any details about the alleged victim or the circumstances.
Smith was being held in a Burbank jail on $50,000 bail.
A message left for Smith’s agent Sunday was not immediately returned, and police could not say if he had hired an attorney.
Tone Loc is best known for the 1989 hip-hop hits “Wild Thing” and “Funky Cold Medina.”
