Damn. It's a wrap on his ass.

And then he is also being held on 28,000 bail.
There is a charge for which there is no bail at all

scriptgirl said:

Guess it shouldn't be long before we find out what he's actually charged with this time.

If El is still on parole and has violated any parole term, there is no bail allowed. He could have violated something simple, like failing to report to his parole officer. There will still be a "no bail" hold place on him.

Thank god. It doesn't seem so grim then

Well what's the other two charges then?

None of the charges are detailed

scriptgirl said:

Strange.

Yeah, I know. I am guessing it is drug related, though.

i can't find anything on this. what is your source again?

LA county correctional site

Damn, I didn't know he only weighed 140 lbs.

According to the information, he was arrested on Oct. 9, his next court date is Tuesday.

Those are crack head numbers.

Shawnt25 said:

True.

Yeah, but even way before the crack El was always skinny. He has never been muscular like Chico.

scriptgirl said:

Yeah you're right there...

But mayne... these DeBarges have lived such a rough life I can't even be surprised anymore when I hear about them getting arrested. And it's the usual two: El and Chico.

Knock on wood, Chico has pretty much avoided jail except for last year and he posted bail ASAP. I think he has pretty much tried to be on the straight and narrow and I think he is more grounded and driven and more normal than El. I also don't think Chico is as troubled as El is and certainly not as weird as El.
Here is a very young El in 81

and in 86

and a few years ago, with his daughter,Adris, who is tracey edmonds assistant

he has always been thin

Aight, it's been a while since Jonathan has been arrested, lol... good for him though.

But anyway, yeah, El has always been weird.

@ the first picture, where was they at? Berry Gordy's house?

I am not sure where they are-that pic was taken in either 81 or around the time "I Like It" came out.

Yeah, as much as I love him, El has always been off. Can't really put my finger on it, it's things he has said here and there. Like I said, Chico is more grounded and normal. But I think all that time in prison straightened him out.

scriptgirl said:

Of course, Chico used to look like this:


He didn't really bulk up until he spent some time in the clink. Maybe El will follow in his little brother's footsteps there as well.

Yeah, Chico was really skinny back then. All of those Debarges are thin.
But El has spent a LOT more time in jail than you think and this is not the first time he has been charged with a felony. He was charged with another back in the 90s, I believe. He has a much longer criminal rap sheet than just the shit that is listed.

Tommy Debarge of Switch did time in jail for selling fake coke to a police officer.

I don't know what kind of kids Mama Debarge was raising, but she is a bit self righteous for me.

Alex, Eldra had all that time to bulk up but he wasn't forced to toughen up in jail because Chico had to do six years hard labor. El went to jail on shorter terms for misdemeanor issues. He 47 still lookin' like a toothpick.

Six years of hard labor-what hard labor was he doing?
From what I understand, those drug charges were Chico's first brush with the law and he went down real hard because they wanted to make an example of him. I am still not sure how Bobby figured into all that, though

scriptgirl said:

Ain't spending time in jail sometimes referred to as hard labor? LOL

From wikipedia:


"Convict or prison labour (also called hard labour) is form of unfree labour used in both past and present as an additional form of punishment beyond imprisonment alone."

One suspects he was probably laboring with some hard pipe...

scriptgirl said:

Well, excuuuuuse me.

Ok, well he did do some time.

AlexdeParis said:

Oh no you didn't...

Alex, there is no evidence Chico ever got down like that in the pen.

Timmy84 said:

Couldn't resist.

scriptgirl said:

Who needs evidence? I've seen the video to "Talk to Me" and I'm sure his cellmates had as well. They were calling him Chico, but he was probably calling somebody Papi...
