The rapper and cartoon voice actor was arrested after a dispute with the mother of his children turned physical. Police found the Colt AR-15 Sporter when responding to that call, and now Loc is in double the trouble.
Tone Loc was the second hip-hop artist to top the pop charts (the first were the Beastie Boys) and his 1989 singles “Wild Thing” and “Funky Cold Medina” are feel-good essentials in the fabric of America’s pop canon.

However, Crossfade thinks it might be a good idea for these dudes with actual weapons to team up with Coheed and Cambria bassist, Mic Todd, who robbed a Walgreens with a text message while on tour opening for Soundgarden. .
