According to a police report obtained by DailyMail.com, DaniLeigh, who started her career as a backup dancer, was allegedly speeding and wandering in Miami Beach early in the morning before striking a motorist on a moped.
Officers administered a breathalyzer test after detecting the smell of alcohol during the stop which resulted in a BAC of 0.148 – almost twice the legal limit.
The victim was taken to Ryder Trauma Center in Miami where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries, including a kidney laceration and a spinal fracture.
She was released on $9,500 bond.
The incident comes two years after the Miami-based singer, who shares a two-year-old daughter with controversial rapper DaBaby, made headlines about an altercation involving her ex.
She was charged with two counts of simple assault related to two incidents in November 2021, when DaBaby- real name Jonathan Lyndale Kirk – called police claiming she had assaulted him.
Officers were initially called to the property on Sunday, November 14 and no arrests were made, but returned the following day after the rap star made a second claim of domestic abuse.
