Young City, formerly called Chopper and known as Kevin Barnes in real life, is at odds with the law again. The former Making the Band star is now a wanted man after a Baltimore, Maryland judge issued a warrant for his arrest for violating his probation rooting from an armed robbery conviction.

This wasn’t Young City’s first encounter with the law.  Previously, he was convicted of robbing a man and holding a BB gun in Eastpoint Mall, Baltimore in 2001.  He was also arrested for the assault of his girlfriend in Georgia, in which he missed a court appearance relating to the case.

What Are They Up To? Ashley Parker Angel of Making the Band

Ashley Parker Angel gained attention and fame for his exposure on MTV’s Making the Band.  His boyish looks, talent and enthusiasm evidently earned him a spot on the boy band O-Town, along with Erik-Michael Estrada, Trevor Penick, and Dan Miller.  After the short-lived success of O-Town from two albums, he left the band to pursue a solo career.  At present, he is preoccupied in theater works, Broadway productions and his singing career.
