Former Alabama QB Jay Barker enters plea in domestic violence case

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Former Alabama quarterback Jay Barker, who is married to country music singer Sara Evans, has entered a "best interest" plea to a misdemeanor charge of reckless endangerment after a January arrest on a felony domestic violence charge, Tennessee officials said.

The plea Barker entered Thursday means he did not admit guilt but agreed that the state had enough evidence to prove its case, said Steve Hayslip, spokesman for the Nashville District Attorney General's office.

An arrest affidavit from the January incident said Barker attempted to hit two people with a vehicle but missed.
