Tone Loc Pleads Not Guilty To Domestic Violence

BURBANK, CA — Prosecutors say rapper Tone Loc has pleaded not guilty to a felony domestic violence charge stemming from an arrest earlier this year.

The artist, whose real name is Anthony Smith, entered the plea in a Burbank, Calif., courthouse on Thursday. Known for the hits “Wild Thing” and “Funky Cold Medina,” Smith was arrested in the city which is north of Los Angeles on June 18.

He also faces a felony possession of an assault weapon charge because Burbank police discovered the rapper has an unregistered Colt AR-15 rifle. He returns to court on July 28.

Police have released few details about the 45-year-old’s arrest, saying only that he was taken into custody after a woman accused him of assault.
