Sara Evans’ Estranged Husband Sentenced

Jay Barker, the estranged husband of Sara Evans, was found guilty of misdemeanor reckless endangerment on Thursday morning (June 9) in Nashville.

The charge was a reduction from charges he faced after a January incident near her house in Nashville.

Barker was arrested on Jan. 15th on charges that he’d tried to ram a car Evans was riding in with his car. The 4a.m. arrest came after he allegedly tried to back his vehicle into hers as she was being driven home from a party in the neighborhood.

He reportedly fled the scene at first, but later returned to talk to police. They arrested him on felony aggravated assault charges and set his bond at $10,000.
