UPDATE!
JD Madison was granted a personal recognize bond of $570 by a judge. They did the same thing with Thomas Ravenel where they didn’t have to actually come up with any money to bond out of jail. What was the point of arresting him then? There was a warrant for his arrest for a check that he wrote in September of 2017. That was during the time he was evicted from his restaurant for not paying his rent or his vendors or his other bills. You really should click that link.
The check was for $875.33 the returned it due to insufficient funds. It appears that one of the vendors then went down and filed a police report for check fraud. It seems the wheels of justice turn very slowly in Charleston. JD claims he didn’t know there was a warrant on him.
At any rate, the streets are Charleston are a bit less safe again today! Be alert!
2018 is quickly coming to a close and many of us are ready for a brand new year in 2019. This is the time of year where we start hopeful that next year will be better. And for JD Madison, he’s really not wanting to hang on to 2018. Much like his buddy Thomas Ravenel, he was accused of drugging and raping and undisclosed Mount Pleasant woman. Then a month or so later he was accused of witness tampering and/or allegedly stalking the victim or having someone else do it to intimidate her so that she would not testify.
Today, TMZ is reporting that JD was arrested today on some sort of check violation. It’s unclear if it was a bad check, or a stolen check or what he did exactly.He was picked up at 3 pm today. JD lost his restaurant in Charleston when he was unable to pay his rent. He allegedly ran through all of his wife’s inheritance without her knowledge.
At the end of 2017 it seemed he was heading for divorce from his humiliated wife, Elizabeth, but I don’t think that has happened yet. Elizabeth seems to get sucked back into the relationship.
There is not a lot of information on the most recent arrest today. It seems a bit likely that he will be in jail until after Christmas as I presume the judges are all off enjoying the Christmas break. Merry Christmas, JD. I’m sure your lump of coal will still be in your stocking when you get home. The jail website lists his court date as January 23.
Travis, LOL. Really, nobody cares what the asshole’s name is.
I type Travis nearly every time I type his name and usually catch it. It’s because of the stupid “T-rav” nickname and my old people brain. 🙂
what happened to his money that a check of that amount is being bounced? they get paid for being filmed on the show and he had that large restaurant, they like to flount their wealth on television, I don’t understand. I think his wife Elizabeth is a beautiful good woman I feel bad for her, she deserves better
Well, something was bound to tip him into jail sometime. Hopefully Elizabeth will finally wake up. Postponing the inevitable does not make things easier in the end.
Elizabeth is a saint to put up with him Being single is not that bad when I hear about everyone else’s sorry ass husbands That woman has the patience of Job. Thanks for reinforcing my determination to be single for life. Bridget Jones said it best THOSE SMUG MARRIEDS !
Singletons rock
Amen!
No, she is a sucker and a fool. Putting up with this kind of crap isn’t a heroic trait. Especially with young children in the mix.
Why am I not even surprised? Lol
I use to wonder why JD was a close friend to TRav. He seemed like a good family and successful business man. Then I read these reports of his sleazy self and realize why they’re friends: they’re both slime balls. I hope he enjoys his jail Christmas but somehow I have a feeling he has enough pull to get himself out before Tuesday.
Birds of a feather flock together…
I feel bad about the kids not having daddy around for Christmas. His sorry ass can rot in jail, but the kids deserve to have a happy holiday.
Exactly. Poor kids suffer for that bastards behavior.
He looks like a homeless creep in that mug shot. I guess he is a homeless creep.
Run Elizabeth! This slime will do something to jeopardize your home with your children if he hasn’t already. Banks freezing credit cards and bank accounts could be coming down the pike, this is not good.
Looks like he was knee walking from a bottle of Gentry.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO US❣️??
His roots are showing in that mugshot. Time to get his color touched up.
Is 45 a typo, or?
Not that he has ever looked good, but he looks especially terrible in this mugshot. I hooe Elizabeth finally leaves. I hope she finds a means to support her family. I hope this man never hurts another woman.
Well my advice to this scumbag is don’t drop the soap!
T-rape will be following shortly!
Now I need a shower! ?
This just made my day for some reason. I just can’t stand him. Funny how sometimes you actually get to see karma. I’m with the person above who said it is unfortunately very sad for his children. These types of things always are. He truly was trying to fool everyone for so long he was such the family man. What happened to him along the way?? Was he ever a good guy???
I often lurk here…TT articles & the comments always have the best tea! So what am I missing… Why does JD have no bond amount? For a low $$ check fraud? IMO There has to be more to that… Anyone find his mug shot from the first arrest?
It looks like his bail is $570 which is probably the amount of the check. Under status it still says CURRENT which means he is probably still in there.
Have all of his inner circle abandoned him? $570 doesn’t seem like too much to pony up… If that’s all iit would take get him out to be with his kids for Christmas? Not, nor never been a fan of JD ~ but his children… With everything he has ahead of him… It might be his last Christmas to spend with them for quite some time.
He owes everyone in town money. Hopefully, Elizabeth has taken the kids to a family Christmas somewhere out of town.
The check was written for $875.33 in September 2017 ~ timing seems suspicious. If this information is accurate… wouldn’t that warrant have been active when he was arrested in September 2018 on the sexual assault charges? I hope the police are trying to put pressure on him ~ maybe he’ll crack & turn on a bigger fish?
What is the source on the dollar amount of the check? And when was the last time you WROTE A CHECK?
A lot if this doesn’t make sense.
Also, was he ACTUALLY arrested and charged in that September incident? Perhaps that was just when the report was made? All of the Felons By Bravo court cases tend to run together.
I have never posted here before and I am not sure how to add the source, nor are my intentions to break your rules. That is why I stated “if accurate”

& the check inference?
Thanks Mia, your source was a local Charleston News Anchor so of course that source is accurate.
I’ve updated the post! Thanks.
You can always shoot me an email at tamaratattles on gmail if you see something interesting/important like that in the future! 🙂
Just my 2 cents but the check being written in 2017 doesn’t mean that charges had been filed/warrant issued at time of 2018 incident.
The people to whom he wrote the check could have still been pursuing payment before deciding the bum wasn’t going to make good on his debt and deciding to pursue it criminally.
But we would need fo see when the criminal complaint on the bad check was filed to determine that.
I am not sure he was arrested in September over the filed charges. That may still be on the horizon.
The juice company he stiffed had 6 months to file they charges and they did that withing that window of time according to their affidavit.
By far the best thing for her to do! Frustrating for her family that he is still dragging her and the boys through this BS!!
If he pays the check he could get out.
Rotting ok n a jail cell is exactly the Christmas this POS deserves. Repulsive waste of skin. Elizabeth should get herself and her kids away from him NOW. He is the type to kill her for life insurance pay out.
J.D.’s mugshot will make a memorable Christmas card. I agree that Elizabeth and the children must get away from this sad mess. He really had me fooled. I thought J. D. was the devoted family man he played on T.V.
What a LOSER! JD out here writing rubber checks and his ass can’t make bail? White privilege must be on vacation in Charleston. Liz better watch her back. I agree he’s slimy enough to merk her for the insurance.
The ware wolf hair has gotta go. You know at this point if ppl are still behind these fools they deserve the darkness that follows.
Pride comes before the fall and we all certainly saw that pompous prideful jerk in all his glory. I only wish Elizabeth finds the strength and support to leave him in her dust.
Suppose Craig is thinking who’s laughing now dumb asses ? Guess they can come off their high horses
It must be hard when you have little kids and a bum husband.
I understand wanting to try to work it out for the sake of your family but sometimes you just have to know when it isn’t worth trying because the guy is more trouble than he’s worth and your family is better off without him.
This is one of those times: run, Elizabeth, run!
