Sara Evans’ husband Jay Barker was arrested on charges of alleged domestic violence on January 15. Cops said that he tried to slam his car into a car which Sara was being driven in.
Jay was taken into custody and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He was placed on a 12-hour hold in Davidson County and then released on the same day after posting a bail of $10,000.
An affidavit acquired by station WIAT states that the singer left a party and entered the passenger seat of a friend’s car. While they were leaving the driveway, she saw her husband driving his car in reverse and attempting to hit them. However, Jay missed Sara’s car.
The affidavit also mentions that Evans and Barker were previously married but are now separated. They had already filed for divorce back in August 2021 mentioning irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct as the reasons.
