Sara Evans’ Husband Arrested, Charged With Felony Assault
]
Sara Evans’ husband, Jay Barker, was arrested in Nashville on Saturday morning (Jan. 15) and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He allegedly tried to hit Evans with his vehicle.
As of late Saturday afternoon, he was being held on a 12-hour domestic violence hold.
The 49-year-old former college football player is currently the host of a mid-day show on Tide 100.9, a Townsquare Media Station. The Tide station reports that his bond was set at $10,000.
CBS-42 in Birmingham, Ala., uncovered the affidavit of Barker’s arrest, revealing that the incident occurred after 1AM. Evans is said to have been in the passenger seat of a friend’s vehicle, leaving a party at a neighbor’s house. She allegedly saw Barker backing up his vehicle “at a high rate of speed attempting to hit them.”
Barker drove off, but returned and talked to police officers. Other witnesses also say Barker tried to hit Evans and her friend.
The affidavit states that the couple is currently separated. Per the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office, Barker was booked just after 4AM on Saturday morning. He’s listed under his full name, Harry Jerome Barker.
Barker and Evans have been married since 2008, and together they have raised a blended family of kids from their respective previous relationships. Barker’s son Braxton plays football at the University of Alabama, while his other son, Harrison, plays at UAB, and his daughter, Sarah, plays basketball at the University of Georgia.
Neither Barker nor Evans have said anything about Barker’s arrest on their respective social media pages. Evans toured heavily in 2021, finishing with a Christmas tour. Per her website, her next scheduled show is on Thursday (Jan. 20) in Orlando.
Evans’ romance and marriage to Barker are a large part of her 2020 memoir, Born to Fly. The relationship began soon after her contentious divorce from Craig Schelske (2006), with whom she had three children. Daughter Olivia released new music earlier this year, while Evans’ son, Jack, is also a musician and producer.
Barker led the University of Alabama to a National Championship as a quarterback in 1992. He remains the school’s all-time winningest quarterback at 35-2-1, per the Tennessean.

Ex-Alabama QB Jay Barker arrested after allegedly attempting to hit estranged wife Sara Evans with car
]
Former Alabama quarterback Jay Barker was arrested early Saturday morning on a felony assault charge after he allegedly tried to hit his estranged wife with a car.
Barker was arrested by the Davidson County (Tennessee) Sheriff’s Office just after 4 a.m. on Saturday on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. According to the Tennessean, Barker tried to hit his wife, country singer Sara Evans, and another person with his car after a party early Saturday morning.
From The Tennesseean:
Documents on file with Metro Nashville General Sessions Court said the people in the vehicle were leaving a party around 1:30 a.m. Saturday. As they pulled into the driveway of a nearby home, Barker allegedly reversed his vehicle “at a high rate of speed attempting to hit them, but missed,” according to the arrest affidavit.
The vehicle’s occupants contacted police after Barker drove away from the home, the affidavit states. Police made contact with Barker when he later drove by the house.
According to Al.com, Evans filed for divorce from Barker in August and cited “inappropriate marital conduct” after they separated in April. The couple has been married for 12 years and it’s the second marriage for both Evans and Barker.
Barker, 49, is a longtime Birmingham radio host and sports talk personality. He was the quarterback for the Crimson Tide when Alabama won the national title in 1992 after going 13-0.
Barker was 132-of-243 passing for 1,614 yards and seven touchdowns and nine interceptions that season. He finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy voting in 1994 after going 139-of-226 passing for 1,996 yards and 14 TDs and five interceptions. He was behind Rashaan Salaam, Ki-Jana Carter, Steve McNair and Kerry Collins in the voting and just ahead of Warren Sapp.
Barker was taken in the fifth round of the 1995 NFL draft by the Green Bay Packers but never played in an NFL game.
