Tone Loc jailed for one day
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 6 October 2011
Rap man and actor Tone Loc, perhaps best known for his 1989 hit ‘Wild Thing’, has been sentenced to a massive one day in jail after pleading no contest to charges relating to an altercation with the mother of his child back in June.
At the time a police officer from Burbank, California was quoted as saying Loc had “roughed up” the mother of his child, and in a subsequent search of the property where the fracas took place an unregistered assault rifle was found.
Loc originally pleaded not guilty to corporal injury and gun possession charges, but changed his plea as part of a bargain deal. According to the Associated Press, as well as one day in jail, he will have three years probation and 30 days community service, and must attend 52 weeks of anger management counselling.
