Ex-Milli Vanilli Member Arrested
Robert Pilatus, onetime member of the disgraced, dreadlocked music duo Milli Vanilli, was arrested Sunday morning in Hollywood on suspicion of attempted auto burglary and threatening harm to the car’s owner and his family.
Los Angeles police said Pilatus, 31, was taken into custody after being struck in the head with a baseball bat by the owner of a car Pilatus allegedly attempted to burglarize. Pilatus was treated for a head gash at Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital then booked at Men’s Central Jail.
LAPD spokesman Eduardo Funes said Pilatus was being held on suspicion of making a terrorist threat, a crime that carries a $150,000 bail.
