A video showing the immediate aftermath of the DUI arrest of singer Dani Leigh last year has gone wildly viral after it was released.
The video, which is setting social media ablaze, shows the singer being arrested by cops in Miami following her May 2023 hit and run.
The part going wildly viral relates to a slightly intoxicated Leigh telling the cops that they can’t arrest her because she’s a singer, and a famous one at. It didn’t appear to help her at all.
Dani Leigh DUI Arrest Video
Singer Dani Leigh was sentenced to five years probation following a hit and run DUI accident she was involved in back in May 2023.
At the time, the singer was arrested for allegedly driving drunk on the night of May 30, 2023. Police says she struck a man on a moped while behind the wheel of her grey Mercedes-Benz G550.
Following the crash, she fled the scene but unfortunately had the injured man’s moped stuck underneath her SUV.
After fleeing the scene of the crash Dani Leigh failed to stop for cops too when they tried pulling her over. After realizing the gravity of her situation she pulled over and was found by the arresting cop to be slightly intoxicated. They applied a field sobriety test which she woefully failed as she blew nearly twice the legal limit.

This brings us to the Dani Leigh video as a year down the line, footage from the incident has hit social media.
The crazy video, shared by TMZ and on many posts on X (formerly Twitter), shows Dani Leigh being stopped and cuffed by cops while in a very sheer outfit.
While being arrested, she had some crazy comments to pass, claiming that police can’t arrest her because she’s an artist. She also denied hitting anyone despite evidence to the contrary.
