“Return of the Mack” singer Mark Morrison has been charged with battery after a run in with the manager of a high-end restaurant in Florida, according to TMZ. The pop star, who has a long history of brushes with the law, reportedly pushed the manager of Le Bar à Vin in Palm Beach on his upper body during a disagreement over an event Morrison had apparently booked, to be hosted at the venue. Witnesses reportedly jumped in after the argument became physical. TMZ also obtained a photo, purportedly showing the English singer, 52, in cuffs. Morrison was reportedly released Sunday morning after posting $1,000 bond. In 1999 The Guardian called Morrison the “baddest boy in pop,” after he sent a lookalike to finish community service for him after he violated an order imposed in 1995 for his part in a brawl in which a man died. He laid low in Barbados for a month and was arrested upon his return to England.
