D’Angelo, who is well regarded for his singing and performance abilities, has become the most recent celebrity to be arrested for an embarrassing crime. This past Saturday the performer was arrested for soliciting oral sex from an undercover law enforcement official in New York.
According to sources, D’Angelo allegedly offered the undercover policewoman about $40 in exchange for oral sex. The incident occurred in New York’s West Village neighborhood around 2:30 AM. D’Angelo, who resides in the area, was arrested while driving alone in his Range Rover after his attempted solicitation. The performer also had $12,000 in cash in his SUV.
This is not the first time that D’Angelo has been in trouble with the law. In January 2005 he was arrested for driving under the influence and possession of marijuana.
D’Angelo, whose birth name is Michael Eugene Archer, has been actively involved in the entertainment industry since 1994. In the past he has been affiliated with various successful record labels including EMI and Virgin Records. His first album, “Brown Sugar,” was released in 1995 and sold over 2 million records.
D’Angelo is rumored to be releasing a new album in the summer of 2010. However, the title has yet to be released.
