Return of the Mack singer Mark Morrison arrested for battery
Mark Morrison has been arrested for battery in Florida.
The Return of the Mack singer is returning to court after his arrest over the weekend.
The British R&B star was detained by authorities following an altercation at a Palm Beach restaurant, TMZ reports.
According to Palm Beach Police, eyewitnesses claim Morrison shoved the Le Bar à Vin's manager, Nicola Lavacca, twice after becoming frustrated over an event he had started planning with the venue the day before.
He was released on bail with an arraignment date set for 15 April at the Palm Beach County Courthouse.
The singer, known for the mid-1990s international club hits Crazy, Let's Get Down and Return of the Mack, is no stranger to legal infractions - and has previously served time behind bars.
At the height of his career, he was sentenced to a three-month jail sentence after being convicted in 1997 for attempting to bring a stun gun aboard an aircraft.
A year later, Morrison was reportedly arrested on his way to Barbados after missing a court appearance for charges related to possessing an offensive weapon - a charge that was later dismissed.
After being sentenced to community service for his involvement in a brawl that resulted in a fatality in 1998, he was sentenced to 12 months for having a lookalike perform his court-ordered community service for him while he was away on tour.

Brazilian prosecutors charge man accused of ordering high-profile killing in Amazon region
SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazilian prosecutors filed criminal charges Thursday against the man accused of ordering the 2022 killings of Indigenous peoples advocate Bruno Pereira and British journalist Dom Phillips in the Amazon. Ruben Dario Villar, a Colombian fish trader, was formally accused by Brazilian police last November of being the person who planned the slaying. Phillips and Pereira went missing exactly three years ago, on June 5, 2022. Phillips was shot and killed while researching an ambitious book on how to protect the world's largest rainforest, which was finished and recently published in Brazil by his family and friends. 'How to Save the Amazon' is scheduled to be published in the U.S. on June 10. The book was pieced together by fellow journalists who immersed themselves in Phillips' notes, outlines and the handful of chapters he'd already written. In a statement Thursday, federal prosecutors said 'Bruno and Dom were assaulted and murdered for a vile — despicable, perverse — reason, in a cruel manner, without any chance of defense.' According to the police investigation, Villar financed an illegal fishing operation inside the Javari Valley Indigenous Territories, where thousands of Indigenous people live, including the world's largest concentration of uncontacted groups. The murders were motivated by Pereira's efforts to monitor and enforce environmental laws in the region, police said. He has been in jail since 2022 and has denied any wrongdoing.

Police wrap up search for Madeleine McCann evidence in Portugal's Algarve
LISBON (Reuters) -Portuguese and German police were on Thursday wrapping up their search in Portugal's southern Algarve region for evidence related to the disappearance of British toddler Madeleine McCann 18 years ago. There were no immediate announcements on the outcome of the operation as vans with German license plates and a Portuguese police vehicle left one of the search sites in Atalaia, a neighbourhood of Lagos municipality. A source involved in the operation said the searched area had included several derelict houses, wells and reservoirs covering "dozens of hectares". McCann went missing on May 3, 2007 while on holiday with her family in the Algarve town of Praia da Luz, sparking a frenzied search and gaining the attention of the world's media. She has never been found. German police said in June 2020 that McCann was presumed dead and that German national Christian Brueckner was probably responsible. He has denied responsibility. Brueckner, a convicted child abuser and drug dealer, is behind bars in Germany for raping a 72-year-old woman in the same area of the Algarve. His sentence runs until September, meaning he is set for release unless prosecutors find enough evidence to charge him over McCann's disappearance.

Four dead in crash after Spanish police chase ram raiders
Four people were killed when a gang of suspected ram raiders crashed into oncoming traffic during a high-speed police chase on Spain's Costa del Sol on Thursday. In an attempt to evade police cars, a van carrying the three alleged thieves swerved onto the wrong side of a motorway near Torremolinos and collided with a vehicle driven by an off-duty police officer. The three suspects are believed to have died instantly. Their bodies were removed from the wreckage by firefighters. The fourth victim, a police officer, was 'extracted from his vehicle by local police officers but later died', Malaga emergency services said. Identified only as Antonio, the 48-year-old officer was a member of the so-called Gotham Group, a branch of the Spanish police that works secretly at night to combat crime in the tourist hotspot. He had been driving towards his home in Benalmádena after finishing his shift. Police had been on the lookout for a gang believed to be behind a series of night-time ram raids on pharmacies in the Malaga area. Just before 5am, an alarm alerted officers to a break-in at a pharmacy in the Puerto de la Torre area of the city. The intruders deactivated the security shutters before forcing open the front door, but did not manage to open the safe before police raced to the scene. They escaped along the A7 coastal motorway towards Marbella, with patrol cars in pursuit. After speeding along the wrong side of the road to throw off the pursuit, they crashed into the off-duty officer's car when they took an exit near Torremolinos's Palacio de Congresos conference centre. The officer's car caught fire on impact. The National Police Force and the SUP, a Spanish police officers' union, sent their condolences to the family, colleagues and friends of Antonio. The interior ministry said the government was 'deeply saddened by Antonio's death'. Malaga's pharmacy association called for improved security to halt a 'crime wave' affecting chemists in the province. Four or five similar break-ins have been reported in the region over the past month. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.
