Not much has been heard from Michael Archer, aka D’Angelo, since he received a slap on the wrist for a serious car accident in Powhatan County in 2007. Until recently. The R&B star recently made headlines after allegedly cruising New York’s West Village. According to reports, he was arrested on March 6, charged with offering a female undercover police officer $40 for oral sex. The New York Post also reported that police found $12,000 hidden in his Range Rover.
D’Angelo’s manager, Lindsay Guion, urges fans against rushing to judgment.
“We would like his fans and the public at large to know that D’Angelo has [pleaded] not guilty — and is contesting the allegations made against him,” he says in a statement. “D’Angelo … appreciates if all would allow the American justice system to resolve the matter before jumping to any conclusions.”
