AL.com had more on the troubling charges:
The Tennessean, quoting documents on file with Metro Nashville General Sessions Court, said Barker tried to run over two people who 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.
Barker and his wife are still married, though they are reportedly separated and not living together.
A court date is reportedly scheduled for sometime in March.
