Los Angeles, CA – Damn, it’s been a minute since we’d heard anything from the artist responsible for the 1995 smash hit ‘Gangsta’s Paradise,’ for which he won a Grammy for. Coolio is back in the news, but then again what a horrible way to be back in the media. It seems as though Coolio was arrested for assaulting his girlfriend, Anabella Chatman, earlier this month,

TMZ is reporting that Coolio allegedly pushed Chatman to the ground and punched her in the face. Further reports are stating that he proceeded to run her over with his car as tire marks were discovered all over her legs. According to Coolio, he stated that he acted in defense.

Apparently, Coolio has had a long list of legal troubles stemming from several driving offenses and possession of crack cocaine after being arrested at LAX.
