411: DeBarge Docked

Drag entertainer Flotilla DeBarge was arrested after assaulting a couple with her high-heeled shoe. According to Gay City News:

“The first thing I saw was this guy, this straight guy putting his hand on Flo’s face and pushing it,” said a man who witnessed the altercation and asked that his name not be used.

“Then next thing I saw was they were fighting... They fell on the floor with the guy on top of Flotilla and then they were separated. Then they were fighting again.”

The witness estimated that the fight, which occurred just before 4:00 am, lasted roughly two minutes. It involved DeBarge, whose real name is Kevin Joseph, a 28-year-old white male, and a 23-year-old female.

The witness said that at moments during the fight it appeared that both the man and the woman were striking DeBarge. The fight started when either the man or the woman took DeBarge’s seat, according to the police report. The witness, who said that the loud music in the club prevented him from hearing what was said, thought the dispute began after either the man or the woman jostled DeBarge.
