Popular singer and songwriter Danileigh has found herself in legal trouble as she was recently arrested on three felony charges, including DUI hit and run.

The 27-year-old artist, whose real name is Danielle Leigh Curiel, allegedly caused an incident by hitting someone on a motorized scooter and was reported to have dragged the moped for a block before being stopped by the police.

The arrest of Danileigh has sent shockwaves through both her fan base and the music industry as a whole. Known for her hit songs like “Easy” and “Lil Bebe,” the artist has gained significant recognition for her unique style and energetic performances.

However, this recent incident has cast a shadow on her career and raised concerns about her well-being.

According to authorities, the incident occurred late in the evening when Danileigh was driving her vehicle under the influence. Allegedly, she collided with a pedestrian on a scooter, which became entangled with her car and was dragged for a significant distance before coming to a stop. The singer attempted to flee the scene but was apprehended by the police shortly thereafter.

Danileigh now faces three felony charges, including DUI, hit and run, and endangering the welfare of a person. These charges carry serious consequences and could potentially impact her personal life and professional endeavors.

Danileigh’s legal team has not released an official statement at the time of writing, and it is important to respect the legal process as it unfolds.

It remains to be seen how this incident will impact her music career and public image, as well as the potential consequences she may face if found guilty. (The Guardian)
