2 Fast 2 Furious star Devon Aoki reportedly got an unwelcome late-night visit from police at her Florida home after officers came looking for her husband in connection with a hit-and-run. According to the Daily Mail, James Hunter Bailey, 40, was arrested Monday night after police alleged he struck an electric scooter rider and fled to his $9 million mansion. A police report obtained by the outlet says Bailey was driving Aoki’s Audi SQ7 SUV when he allegedly hit a man riding a scooter in a crosswalk around 5 p.m. Officers responding to the crash said the victim’s girlfriend told them her boyfriend’s foot became trapped under the vehicle’s tire. She told police she “frantically” asked the driver to reverse the SUV to free him, but claimed that the driver fled without rendering aid or providing identifying information, the report states. Later that night, police went to the couple’s Florida mansion, where Aoki answered the door and said she did not know where her Audi was, according to the Mail. As officers were leaving, Bailey ran inside and locked the door. He later identified himself, was arrested, and charged at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. His next court date is February 13.
