The singer, 28, was arrested and booked over the holiday weekend on three felony charges; driving under the influence, leaving the scene of a crash with serious bodily injury, and DUI damage to property.

TMZ reports that Dani —real name Danielle Leigh Curiel—was seen by several witnesses driving at a high rate of speed and swerving in and out of lanes near Miami Beach. Authorities told the publication that she struck someone on a motorized scooter and dragged the moped for about a block before an officer was flagged.

In the police report, the officer alleged that Dani smelled of alcohol, failed field sobriety tests, and later took a Breathalyzer that showed that she blew a 0.145 and 0.148, nearly twice the legal limit.

As for the driver of the moped who was injured, it’s almost imminent that a lawsuit will be forthcoming as they suffered a spinal fracture and kidney laceration, reports TMZ.

So far, reps for DaniLeigh have yet to speak on her arrest. She’s since been released on bond.
