2 Fast 2 Furious star’s husband is charged with hit-and-run for hitting scooter rider then fleeing to $9m mansion
Actress Devon Aoki’s husband has been charged with a hit-and-run after police say he struck a scooter rider and then fled to his Florida mansion.
James Hunter Bailey, 40, was arrested on Monday and charged with leaving the scene of a crash causing serious bodily injury and resisting an officer without violence, court records obtained by the Daily Mail show.
Bailey married the 2 Fast 2 Furious star in 2011, and the couple has four children together.
Officers from the Coral Gables Police Department were called to the scene of a hit and run with injuries shortly after 5pm on Monday.
Police allege that Bailey was driving a white Audi SQ7 SUV when he struck a man riding a stand-up scooter on a crosswalk.
The victim’s girlfriend told police that her boyfriend’s ‘left foot was stuck under the vehicle’s right tire.’
‘She was frantically asking the driver of the Audi SQ7 to move the vehicle back in order to release [the victim’s] food from underneath the tire,’ the police report stated.
Bailey allegedly ‘fled the area without rendering aid, providing information or reporting the crash to police.’

Officers said the vehicle was captured on ‘several’ automated license plate readers as it fled the area.
They responded to the sprawling, seven bedroom, seven and half bath mansion listed as the registered address for the Audi SQ7 SUV.
An officer ‘made contact with one of the vehicles registered owners, Ms. Devon Aoki, who stated she did not know the whereabouts of her Audi.’
According to the police report, as the officer was leaving the house, Bailey arrived at the residences in the Audi SQ7 SUV.
The cop said he activated his emergency lights and called out for Bailey to stop walking and come towards him.
However, police say Bailey ran away from the officer, enter his home and locked the front door.
The officer inspected the Audi SQ7 SUV and found that it had ‘minor damage consistent with a collision with a pedestrian on a stand-up scooter.’
‘I observed paint transfer marks and small paint chips on the right front bumper and hood area,’ the cop stated.

A few moments later, after ‘looking at police officers through the windows,’ Bailey exited the mansion, identified himself and was arrested.
He was booked at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and released on his own recognizance.
Bailey’s next court date is scheduled for February 13.
