AceShowbiz - DaniLeigh managed to avoid jail time in her DUI hit-and-run case. As a result of her plea deal, the "Easy" songstress was sentenced to five years probation following the 2023 incident.
On Thursday, February 1, the 29-year-old stood before a Miami-Dade County judge for sentencing. According to documents obtained by XXL, the musician pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor DUI charge as well as one count of DUI causing serious injury, which is a felony.
Meanwhile, two other associated charges have been adjourned in contemplation of dismissal, including one for leaving the scene of a crime and one being an additional DUI charge. Those charges will be thrown out if the former backup dancer, who shares a daughter with rapper DaBaby, completes her five years of probation with any violations.
Dani was arrested on May 30, 2023, after allegedly hitting somebody with her car while driving under the influence in Miami Beach, Florida. According to a Miami Beach Police Department arrest report, the musician was driving a Mercedes-Benz G550, commonly known as a G-Wagen, down Washington Avenue, speeding and weaving in and out of traffic.
Police said Dani then hit a man on a moped near 11th Street and continued on without stopping or slowing down. According to eyewitnesses, multiple people attempted to get the singer's attention to let her know she was "dragging the moped," but she didn't stop. The crash happened just outside Miami Beach police headquarters.
An officer later pulled the "Breakfast Can Wait" songstress over near 16th Street after she initially refused to stop. Both Dani and her passenger were detained by police. The report notes that her SUV smelled of alcohol and she had "sluggish" motor skills.
In the report, police state that Dani told officers she was coming back from a Memorial Day party and insisted that she "never hit" anyone and hadn't consumed any alcohol. However, she failed field sobriety tests and two breath tests came back at 0.145% and 0.148%, nearly twice the legal limit in Florida.
