usmagazine.com:

After Sara Evans’ estranged husband, Harry “Jay” Barker, was arrested following an alleged domestic violence incident, he will not face any prison time.According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, the former football player, 49, conceded to a best interest plea, agreeing to a misdemeanor reckless endangerment charge rather than felony aggravated assault.

Per the court docs, Barker was sentenced to a one-year probation in which he has to forfeit all weapons and complete a 26-week batterers intervention program.Us confirmed in January that Barker — who previously wed the 50-year-old country singer in 2008 — was taken into police custody after allegedly trying to hit Evans with his car.After the “A Little Bit Stronger” songstress left a party at her neighbor’s home early in the morning, she noticed Barker “backing up his vehicle at a high rate of speed,” according to an affidavit obtained by local news outlet WIAT.

The report indicated that Barker attempted to hit Evans — and her friend in the car — “but missed.”While the former University of Alabama quarterback allegedly drove away from the scene, Evans called the police.

Barker was subsequently booked by local police officers upon his return home and was placed on a 12-hour hold for domestic violence.
