No further details of the arrest were available.

In 2001, Winkle was arrested for striking his wife, Laura, as the couple drove on Interstate 595 in the town of Davie, Florida according to Broward County Police. At the time, he denied striking his wife, telling police that he had placed his hand over her mouth "to shut her up." However, he did admit to ripping out some of her hair, but insisted he did so to prevent her from jumping out the truck's window. According to the Associated Press, his wife told quite a different story, claiming that she feared her husband. The incident was witnessed by the couple's two children. The rapper was arrested at the scene and taken into custody before being released the following day on $3,500 bail.
"We had a heated argument," the musician told Miami's WSVN TV after he was released from jail. "Before [the police] would say, 'OK, just leave ... Come back later, cool down. Go to a friend's house.' Now they have to make you spend a night in jail."
