Now who said it's only rappers? oMg this is obviously publicity for their new song "Diamonds." How low! AUSTIN, Texas - The bassist for the Los Lonely Boys was arrested Saturday on charges of marijuana possession and assault, authorities said. Joey "JoJo" Sacarais Garza, 26, was in town with fellow sibling-bandmates, who were preparing for a concert. Police responding to a report of a disturbance at the Omni Hotel in downtown Austin found Garza and a woman in his room, police spokeswoman Laura Albrecht said. The woman was assaulted, Albrecht said. Garza was charged with assault causing bodily injury and possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana. He was released from Travis County Jail hours later. The San Angelo-based Tex-Mex flavored rock 'n' roll group hit the national spotlight in 2004 with their Grammy award-nominated debut album "Los Lonely Boys." Yahoo |

I remember reading a story like this before. Maybe it was a different member? I know it was someone from Los Lonely Boys. Except this time assault is involved, which I consider way worse.
their new album doesn't seem to be selling so great ,so publicity could be it...whoever does drugs, it's dumb, stupid, and wrong, but I don't think anybody's EVER going to top Dallas Austin flying into Dubai with cocaine when it's well known that they execute people for bringing that shit into their country.

Drugs are bad. You shouldn't do drugs. If you do them, you're bad, because drugs are bad. It's a bad thing to do drugs, so don't be bad by doing drugs, m'kay, that'd be bad.
p.s. I hope this doesn't interfere with their promotional appearances for the new CD because that'd be bad.

Are you people serious? Everyone is upset that someone in a band was caught with pot?!
Trust me, almost all of them do it...they just dont get caught. And I would rather someone smoke pot than be an alcoholic or even a cigarette smoker.

Lonely Boys: Arrest was misunderstanding
Updated 7/24/2006 9:26 AM ET
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - The arrest of the bassist for Los Lonely Boys on allegations he assaulted his fiancee was all a misunderstanding, the band's publicist said Sunday.
Police arrested Joey "JoJo" Sacarais Garza, 26, at an Austin hotel Saturday on charges of assault causing bodily injury and possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana, authorities said. Garza was released on bond from Travis County Jail hours later.
"This is simply a misunderstanding. We were being too loud," Carina Lyn, Garza's fiancee, said through the publicist. "We apologize to the hotel guests. JoJo and I are very much in love and we are planning to be married."
Garza, Lyn and Garza's sibling-bandmates were celebrating last week's release of the band's new album, Sacred, when another hotel guest reported a disturbance, publicist Diana Baron said.
Police arrived to find a woman who had been assaulted and marijuana, Austin police spokeswoman Laura Albrecht said.
Baron declined to comment on the marijuana charge but said Lyn was unharmed and had protested the arrest.
The Austin police erred on the side of caution, but their actions were "completely unnecessary," Garza's attorney Charlie Roadman said in the release.
Austin police spokeswoman Ruth Bullock said investigators will give a report to the Travis County District Attorney's Office, which will decide whether to press formal charges. In cases of family violence, alleged victims cannot drop charges, she said.
She disputed the band's account of the incident.
"We can only arrest if visible injury or complaint of pain is there, so undoubtedly the officers saw that," she said.

kind of scary. it doesn't add up, if the police wouldn't make an arrest unless there was visible injury, then how do they explain the fact that he was arrested. ???

I must say, I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you!
Musicians doing drugs!? What is this world coming to!?
Seriously, I was searching for a thread about LLB's music. They're on Austin City Limits in my area tonight and I'd forgotten how much I like their music. (And a couple of them ain't bad to look at either.)
I was looking for info on their latest album when I stumbled on this thread.
