The 28-year-old, who is rapper DaBaby's ex and mother to one of his children, was detained after allegedly hitting a person on a scooter while over the drink-drive limit. She posed for this mugshot after being arrested early Tuesday morning. According to reports, a police report claims several witnesses saw the entertainer speeding and swerving between lanes before striking a person riding a motorized scooter, and dragging the moped for about a block. One bystander reportedly flagged down a nearby police officer, who then initiated a stop. Police described Dani as smelling of alcohol and they conducted field sobriety tests, which she failed, and later took a breathalyzer. Dani was booked on three felony charges - driving under the influence, leaving the scene of a crash with serious bodily injury, and DUI damage to property. The alleged victim was reportedly sent to hospital with a kidney laceration and a spinal fracture. 30 May 2023 Pictured: DaniLeigh.

Tyler Christopher‘s, 47, birthday didn’t quite go to plan. The General Hospital actor was arrested the night of Nov. 11, after celebrating his birthday in Martinsville, Indiana, according to TMZ. Tyler was booked on charges of public intoxication and, per Morgan County Jail records, is being held on $225 cash and $1,000 bond. There is no report yet confirming or denying whether Tyler has been released from jail.

The actor’s mugshot features Tyler with a grown, unruly beard and his hair completely disheveled. In the image, Tyler is also wearing, what appears to be, an orange shirt, which could have been provided from the jail where he is — or was — being held. Tyler also appears to be sporting what might be a bruise on his nose, which may have been inflicted during an altercation or while Tyler was intoxicated.

Tyler is best known for portraying Nikolas Cassadine / Connor Bishop on the daytime soap opera General Hospital. The actor starred on the series from 1996-2016. In 2016, Tyler won a Daytime Emmy for his work on the soap, taking home the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his performance as Nikolas Cassadine. Tyler has also appeared on another, equally famous daytime soap opera series, Days Of Our Lives. On the show, which Tyler joined in 2001, the actor played Stefan DiMera for roughly 150 episodes.
