Police Deny R. Kelly Rumors

Rumors are spreading fast today about R&B singer R. Kelly. Media Take Out is citing unconfirmed reports of a police raid at Kelly's home in connection with a charge of statutory rape involving an alleged 17-year-old girlfriend. However, we put a call in to the Olympia Fields Police Dept. this morning and an OFPD spokeswoman told us, "All rumors are completely false information. There is no investigation into R. Kelly at the present time. We have been fielding calls for the past three days."
