D’Angelo is back in legal trouble after being arrested and charged with soliciting a prostitute in New York.

D’Angelo, whose real name is Michael Archer, was arrested Saturday (March 6). According to The New York Post, the singer allegedly offered an undercover policewoman $40 for oral s-x.

According to published reports, D’Angelo was driving in his Range at about 2:30 a.m. when he saw a woman he believed to be a prostitute. After asking the woman for sex, he was arrested and charged with solicitation. According to the sources of the New York Post, the singer had $12,000 in his car at the time of his arrest.

D’Angelo has been plagued by legal troubles since his 2002 arrest for allegedly resisting arrest.  Since then the singer has been arrested repeatedly for charges ranging from possession of marijuana to DUI.

In 2007, he received suspended jail sentences after pleading guilty to charges of driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license. A Virginia judge revoked his license for 13 and a half months and fined him $1,250, with additional penalties suspended. He also was injured in a car accident in 2005.

Dang, times must really be hard for D’Angelo if he’s trying to buy “a good time”…SMH.  I wish he would drop the weight, go commando and release the long awaited follow up to Voodoo as music really needs him right now.
