LOS LONELY BOYS ARREST A 'MISUNDERSTANDING'

LATEST: The arrest of LOS LONELY BOYS bassist JOEY 'JOJO' SACARAIS GARZA on Saturday (22JUL06) was a "misunderstanding", according to the band's publicist. The musician was charged with the assault of his fiancee CARINA LYN in an Austin, Texas, hotel, as well as with marijuana possession. However, Lyn has reportedly begged his spokeswoman DIANA BARON to testify, "This is simply a misunderstanding. We were being too loud. "We apologise 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 (ends21JUL06) release of the group's latest album, SACRED. Police swooped when another hotel guest reported a disturbance, Baron claims. Her account is disputed by Austin police spokeswoman RUTH BULLOCK who insists, "We can only arrest if visible injury or complaint of pain is there, so undoubtedly the officers saw that." Investigators will give a report to the Travis County District Attorney's Office, which will decide whether to press formal charges. No comment has been offered by Grammy award-nominated Garza on the marijuana charge yet.
