R&B singer Lyfe Jennings was arrested Sunday night here in Atlanta. The singer is facing two new felony charges and three misdemeanor charges after leading authorities on a chase in an Atlanta suburb, and also for refusing to submit to an on-site DUI test.
According to Smyrna P.D., the platinum recording artist, born Chester J. Jennings, was apprehanded shortly after officers responded to a report of gunshots on Spring Woods Drive in Smyrna, just west of Atlanta.
“Upon their arrival officers encountered the suspect vehicle leaving the area,” the statement reads. “The vehicle was a red 2005 Chevrolet Corvette, later determined to be registered to Chester J. Jennings. Officers entered into a pursuit with the vehicle, which later crashed.” According to sources close to the singer, the gunshots that were heard that night, stemed from a domestic dispute that got out of control.
The 35-year-old singer was charged with Criminal Trespass, Discharging a Firearm Near a Public Highway, and DUI-refusal. As we all know, Lyfe served ten years in prison on felony arson charges, Jennings was also accused of two new felony offenses: Attempting to Elude and Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. Jennings was released from the Cobb County Detention Facility in nearby Marietta, after posting a $55,200 bond.
