Evans estranged husband charged with assaulting her
Former Alabama quarterback and radio host Jay Barker, 49, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. On the arrest report, his name was listed as Harry Jerome Barker. His bond was set at $10,000. At 7:29 p.m. Saturday, he was released on bond.
Police arrived at a Nashville home at 1:30 a.m. Saturday. Evans reportedly left a party at a neighbor's house and got in the passenger seat of a friend's car to ride across the street. As they passed the driveway, Evans reportedly saw Barker "backing up his vehicle at a high rate of speed attempting to hit them but missed."
Barker allegedly drove away, but returned to talk with police. He was then arrested.
Evans and Barker were married in 2008.
Barker led the University of Alabama to the national championship in 1992. Although drafted by the NFL, he never played a game. He spent three seasons in the Canadian Football League.
