Kata Hay, known from season 11 of 'The Voice,' has been nabbed on a serious warrant out of Tennessee. Authorities in Oklahoma picked her up early Wednesday, and she's facing some heavy charges including vehicular homicide. Spill the tea: this isn't her first brush with the law.
Oh honey, grab your popcorn because former 'The Voice' hopeful Kata Hay is back in the headlines, and not for a comeback single. According to TMZ, the country singer—real name Kata Huddleston—was arrested early Wednesday morning in Osage County, Oklahoma, on an active vehicular homicide warrant from Davidson County, Tennessee. The Goodlettsville Police Department confirmed the warrant, while the Osage County Sheriff's Office spilled that a deputy busted her at a local residence. Right now, she's cooling her heels at the Osage County Jail in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, with a court date set for Monday to sign off on extradition back to Tennessee. 🔥
Digging into the details, online records show Kata's got an open DUI case brewing—her second one—in Davidson County. She's also hit with charges for ditching the scene of an accident that racked up over $1,500 in property damage, plus driving around with an open booze container. The alleged offenses? All tied to December 10. Messy much? This comes hot on the heels of her 2022 jail stint, where she pleaded guilty to some seriously sketchy advances on a 16-year-old boy back when she was 35. The victim's mom didn't hold back, claiming Kata 'shoved her tongue in his mouth and touched him inappropriately outside of his jeans.' Kata pushed back, saying the story wasn't spot-on, but couldn't back it up in court. She served several months for that drama.
TMZ tried reaching out for comment—crickets so far. Remember, this is the same gal who charmed her way to the top 20 on 'The Voice' in 2016. From stage lights to squad car lights... what's next for Kata? Is this the final verse, or just another chorus of trouble? 👀
