Tone Loc Arrested on Domestic Violence Charge

Following an alleged physical altercation with the mother of one of his children, rapper Tone Loc was arrested for domestic violence over the weekend.


The 45-year-old, best known for '80s rap hits "Wild Thing" and "Funky Cold Medina," was arrested around 2:45 p.m. on Saturday in Burbank, Calif.


It was reported that Tone posted $50,000 bail and was released from jail after three hours. Police did not reveal who the alleged victim was.

Perhaps known for his gravelly voice and laid-back attitude, Tone Loc's pair of #1 singles both came from his 1989 debut, Loc-ed After Dark.


A less successful follow-up, Cool Hand Loc, dropped in '91. That was about it.


After his music career cooled off, the rapper used his unmistakable voice to launch a second career as a voiceover star and sometime actor.


Last December, Loc was arrested for DUI, but his manager said he does not drink and it was a seizure that caused him to drive erratically.


Tone has yet to comment publicly on this weekend's arrest.
