Since DaniLeigh has been arrested for alleged DUI hit and run in Miami Beach. The 28-year-old, who is rapper DaBaby's ex and mother to one of his children, was detained after allegedly hitting a person on a scooter while over the drink-drive limit. She posed for this mugshot after being arrested early Tuesday morning. According to reports, a police report claims several witnesses saw the entertainer speeding and swerving between lanes before striking a person riding a motorized scooter, and dragging the moped for about a block. One bystander reportedly flagged down a nearby police officer, who then initiated a stop. Police described Dani as smelling of alcohol and they conducted field sobriety tests, which she failed, and later took a breathalyzer. Dani was booked on three felony charges - driving under the influence, leaving the scene of a crash with serious bodily injury, and DUI damage to property. The alleged victim was reportedly sent to hospital with a kidney laceration and a spinal fracture. 30 May 2023 Pictured: DaniLeigh.

Jeremy Meeks: Arrested In 2002 For Beating A Teenager ‘To A Pulp’

Jeremy’s 2002 crime is downright chilling. Jeremy “was charged in 2002 with robbery and corporal injury to a child,” according to TMZ. “He allegedly jumped a 16-year-old and beat him to a pulp.” After making a plea deal, the report states that Jeremy was sentenced to a two-year stint in a California prison. During this time, Jeremy admitted that he was affiliated with a gang — he was a Northside Gangster Crip. 

We have to admit, this new information scares us a bit. While it’s fun to joke about the viral sensation and his gorgeous blue eyes, it’s important to remember that Jeremy is also a convicted felon — and we can imagine the family of that 16-year-old he allegedly beat up was deeply traumatized and hurt by Jeremy’s actions.

It’s been 12 years since Jeremy allegedly committed this crime, and he served his time, but this new report shows a darker side of this gorgeous inmate we haven’t seen yet.

Jeremy Meeks: Niece Says Inmate ‘Gave His Heart To God’

According to Jeremy’s niece, her uncle is a very different man today. “He is a loving father, husband, brother and uncle,” she told Mail Online. “He has a past and because of it he is being stereotyped. We wish all the judgement would stop… He just wants to get home to his family.”

She insisted that her uncle is focused on his wife and son — and religion. “He gave his heart to God, that is why he changed,” she revealed.
