Mugshot Mania ~ El “Long Hair Don’t Care” DeBarge + Flashback Footage
Flick via UMySis
El DeBarge (born Eldra Patrick DeBarge), former lead singer of the family singing group DeBarge who had mild success as a solo act, was sentenced Wednesday (October 28th) to serve 2 years on a cocaine possession charge. The Los Angeles Judge had little sympathy for the 47 year old former star, who was still on probation for a 2001 cocaine bust, not to mention a series of warrants over the past year for domestic violence, vandalism and drugs, and gave his the stiffest penalty possible.
According to the district attorney’s office, DeBarge also has a second case pending, for violating his probation in 2006 with another drug bust. A hearing in that matter is set for November 10th. DeBarge was picked up by authorities over the weekend on outstanding warrants.
Too bad…so sad. I guess good hair can go wrong as is evident in El’s mugshot photo. There is a 2nd undated mugshot under the cut showing El with short hair and a wide-eyed blank stare. A look that he’ll also be giving his future husband cell-mate. SMH…He’s way to pretty for prison.
Also peep some flashback footage of his group vs. solo career under the cut:

March 7, 2009 @ 7:28 pmIt’s never ok to hit a woman or do drugs,there i said it however he needs help badly i just watched the debarge doc. it was painful to know what his family went through I pray this man gets the help that he deserves. I think there is good inside of all that pain. El Debarge is a very gifted man whoes music touches u to the soul. God hasn’t given up on u and neither will I. Is there an address where i can write him?
