DaniLeigh has been recently sentenced to probation for five years by the court, which will be active from February 1, 2024, until January 31, 2029. The probation is linked to her arrest in May last year following a hit-and-run case that happened in Florida and she was charged with DUI, as per People magazine.

Although the singer was released after her arrest, the accident victim, who was on a moped, reportedly suffered injuries. The victim's identity remains unknown but they filed a civil lawsuit against the artist, and a verdict on the same is currently awaited.

The motorist was diagnosed with a kidney laceration and a spinal fracture and was sent to a nearby hospital, according to XXL.

On the other hand, netizens expressed their dissatisfaction with the sentencing through social media platforms. One of them wrote that probation was not enough for someone whose actions injured an individual's spine.
