Stevie Wonder’s son Keita Morris was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department June 1, 2009, on charges of felony domestic violence, according to TMZ.com. Reportedly, law enforcement sources tell us they received a call about a verbal argument between Morris and an unidentified woman—and that the argument turned physical. He was held on $50,000 bond, which he posted later that morning. Morris is Wonder’s son from former girlfriend Yolanda Simmons.—BB
