D’Angelo Arrested For Soliciting An Officer

We may not be expecting to see another album from R&B crooner D’Angelo, atleast not anytime soon.  The Grammy Award-winning singer was arrested early on Sunday 7th March 2010 for allegedly offering an undercover policewoman $40 for oral sex while visiting New York’s West Village.

According to the New York Post, D’Angelo, whose real name is Michael Archer was driving his luxury Range Rover at about 2:30 a.m. in New York when he spotted a woman he took to be a prostitute.  He was then arrested and charged with solicitation after asking the woman for sex.  The singer also had $12,000 stashed in his SUV.

In 2005, D’Angelo was arrested in his home state of Virginia for driving with a suspended license and driving under the influence.  He was fined and received a suspended jail sentence after pleading guilty.
