American singer and songwriter DaniLeigh has been charged with three felonies after she was arrested for allegedly hitting a man on a motorised scooter while under the influence of alcohol. The incident, which occurred near Miami Beach, left the victim with a fractured spine and kidney laceration. According to witnesses, DaniLeigh was drifting between lanes and driving fast before she hit the moped. She then allegedly drove off, dragging the scooter for a block before coming to a stop.
A police officer who attended the scene noticed the smell of alcohol on DaniLeigh and conducted field sobriety tests, which the singer failed. She was then breathalysed, with her readings of 0.145 and 0.148 both almost twice the legal limit. Moreover, an empty bottle of Don Julio 1942 tequila was found in her car, and a search of her vehicle also led officers to find an open can of beer, as well as two further unopened ones.
The 28-year-old was arrested on three felony charges, including leaving the scene of a crash with serious bodily injury, driving under the influence, and damage to property or person. She was released on a $9,500 bond.
This isn’t DaniLeigh’s first time in the public eye, having previously dated rapper DaBaby with whom she shares a daughter. DaniLeigh directed Prince’s music video Breakfast Can Wait in 2013 and debuted as a singer in 2015 with the single D.O.S.E.
Driving under the influence is a serious crime that puts everyone on the road in danger. It is unfortunate that DaniLeigh’s reckless behaviour has led to such a severe consequence for the victim and herself. While it is never easy to report these incidents, it is vital that law enforcement agencies hold those who break the law accountable.
