Country singer Sara Evans’ estranged husband, Harry “Jay” Barker, was arrested on Saturday, January 15, after an alleged domestic violence incident between the estranged couple, Us Weekly can confirm.According to an affidavit obtained by Nashville news outlet WIAT, Barker, 49, was charged with felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after he allegedly tried to hit Evans, 50, with his car.
The alleged incident happened at 1:30 a.m. local time on Saturday after the “A Little Bit Stronger” singer left a party at a neighbor’s home in the passenger seat of her friend’s car.
Evans allegedly saw Barker “backing up his vehicle at a high rate of speed attempting to hit them but missed.”While the former University of Alabama quarterback allegedly drove away, the musician called the police and he spoke to officers when he returned to the Nashville home.
Barker was subsequently booked and placed on a 12-hour hold for domestic violence. He was released on a $10,000 bond on Saturday evening.
