El Debarge made a name for himself as a musician, producing hits such as ‘Rhythm of the Night.’ Unfortunately, the singer simply cannot keep himself out of trouble with the law. After all, El Debarge was recently arrested at a gas station for illegal weapon and drug possession.
According to TMZ, the Burbank Police Department stated that El Debarge was arrested around 3:40 AM Sunday. El Debarge was not pulled over as was already stopped at a gas station when they noticed he had expired tags.
When officers came closer to check, they noticed an expandable metal baton in plain sight in El’s vehicle. The baton is an illegal weapon, and that made officers search his car thoroughly. They allegedly found pepper spray and suspected narcotics.
They also found out DeBarge didn’t have a valid driver’s license. The singer was arrested and booked on several charges, which include possession of a leaded cane or baton, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The belief is that the illegal substance is heroin. Debarge posted $25K bond and is due back in court in March. We’ll keep you updated on this going case.
