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.

There’s one photo that no actor wants to have taken, and that is a mugshot. Now former The Little Rascals star Bug Hall has one, after he was arrested for allegedly having cans of air duster in his hotel room with the intent to huff them. The 35-year-old — who played Alfalfa in the 1994 hit film — was arrested by officers from the Weatherford, TX Police Department on June 20 and charged with misdemeanor possession for use to inhale or ingest a volatile chemical. His bond was set at $1,500.

Bug, which is a childhood nickname as his real name is Brandon Hall, was allegedly spotted huffing near a hotel dumpster in Weatherford, a town of 25,000 people west of Bug’s hometown of Fort Worth, Texas. That person called the police asking them to do a welfare check on the actor, worried that he might have overdosed, police told Page Six.

Officers arrived and checked on Bug in his hotel room and allegedly found him surrounded by cans. He allegedly admitted to police that he had been inhaling from them, TMZ reports. Air duster cans are made for cleaning computer keyboards and other electronic devices. Huffing air duster causes a short-lived high that can lead to heart, liver, lungs, and brain damage, as well as sudden death by cardiac arrest according to TheRecoveryVillage.com.

Bug found work in TV as a teen, with guest spots on shows such as Charmed, Cold Case and The O.C.
