Since her arrest, Harvey was charged with two misdemeanors which boiled down to one count of resisting, delaying, obstructing a peace officer and one count of hit and run resulting in property damage, according to MSN.
Harvey will be back in court on January 21 to face those misdemeanor charges. If found guilty on both, she could be looking at a year behind bars. There were no injuries reported as a result of the hit-and-run.
Harvey had returned from a weekend in Jamaica with current love interest, Future, just in time to face her hit-and-run charges.

Harvey was previously romantically linked to 49-year-old rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs. A source close to Diddy said that the rapper enjoyed his time with Harvey, but that he wasn’t looking for a committed relationship when the two were together.
“Him and Lori had a fun fling but Diddy is still healing and focusing on himself right now,” the insider said. “He is not ready to be in a long-term committed relationship and is focusing on his kids right now.” ~ MSN
(08/25/2021 Update) After it was all said and done, according to TMZ, Lori went to court and skipped going straight to jail after agreeing to a plea deal.
Back in November [2020,] the entertainment magazine reported that she, “… cut a deal with prosecutors … in which she pled no contest to one misdemeanor count of resisting arrest.
In exchange, we’re told Lori was sentenced to 2 years of probation.“
