Following his arrest last February, Vanilla Ice has completed his community service with Habitat for Humanity in Palm Beach County.
The rapper, whose real name is Robert Van Winkle, was arrested after allegations linked him to burglarizing a foreclosed house in Lantana that was near his own.
Van Winkle performed 100 community service hours and paid $1,139 to the deceased homeowner's estate. According to The Daily Mail, the third-degree felony grand theft charge, which would've included a $5,000 fine and five years in prison, was dropped and leaves Van Winkle without a criminal record.
The Palm Beach Post reported that Van Winkle told police that the items were left on the curb after a foreman told him to keep them at his own house until the renovations were complete. He also called the case a "misunderstanding."
