Grammy Award-winning R&B singer D’Angelo was arrested early yesterday after allegedly offering an undercover policewoman $40 for oral sex while cruising alone through the West Village — with $12,000 stashed in his SUV.

D’Angelo, 36, whose real name is Michael Archer, was in his top-of-the-line Range Rover at Greenwich and Horatio streets at about 2:30 a.m. when he spotted a woman he took to be a prostitute, sources said.

He was arrested and charged with solicitation after asking the woman for sex, the sources said. His manager declined to comment.

New Orleans police arrested six men on Monday during a protest in support of jailed rappers Lil Wayne and Lil Boosie. Off duty officers witnessed the men spray painting the words “Free Lil Wayne” on the side of a building. The men also hung a “Free Lil Wayne and Lil Boosie” banner on a different building and used police barricades and trash cans to block traffic on one street.

The six men fled when cops moved in, but they were arrested after a short chase. They were charged with disturbing the peace, resisting arrest by flight and criminal damage to property.

Earlier this month, Lil Boosie was sentenced to four years in prison for violating his probation. (He was caught with a gun and marijuana.) Lil Wayne is expected to be sentenced to a year in prison two weeks from now. He was convicted illegal weapons possession after a loaded handgun was found on his tour bus in New York in 2007.

Former New York Giants receiver PLAXICO BURRESS was sentenced yesterday to TWO YEARS in prison, for accidentally shooting himself in the leg at a Manhattan nightclub last November. With time off for good behavior, he’ll probably serve 20 months.

–Burress arrived in court with his pregnant wife, their almost-3-year-old son, his father, stepmother and grandmother. He kissed his wife and son goodbye before being led out of the courtroom.

–The sentence wasn’t unexpected. Burress struck a deal with prosecutors in which he pleaded guilty to a charge of attempted criminal possession of a weapon. In return, more serious charges were dropped.

–Still, Plaxico’s attorney, Benjamin Brafman, questioned the length of the sentence. He said, quote, “This was not an intentional criminal act. In my judgment, a two-year prison sentence is a very severe punishment.

–”[Burress is] a fundamentally decent man. This is a very real tragic case in many, many ways.”

–Burress was taken to Riker’s Island Prison . . . but he’ll be transferred to Fishkill Correctional Facility in upstate New York, where he’ll spend at least the next several weeks.

–Burress will be 33 when he gets out . . . and he fully intends to attempt an NFL comeback. He was released by the Giants this past spring.
