BURBANK (KTLA) -- Rapper Tone Loc was arrested Saturday on suspicion of felony domestic violence against his girlfriend, police said.
The rapper, whose real name is Anthony Smith, 45, has posted $50,000 bail and is now free after being arrested about 2:45 p.m. Saturday at an apartment complex in Burbank, according to Burbank Police Sgt. Tracy Sanchez.
Tone Loc spent less than three hours behind bars before being released on bail.
Sanchez would give no other details about the incident other than to describe it as "a physical altercation with the mother of his child."
Tone Loc rose to stardom in 1988 with his hit singles "Wild Thing" and "Funky Cold Medina."
His deep, raspy voice has been used in recent years more for television acting and voice work than for music. He has been cast in several sitcoms and reality TV shows in recent years, according to the Internet Movie Database.
