Cardi B is bracing herself now that she’s turned herself in to police after allegedly being involved in a strip club attack, and she fears a jail time sentence will take her away from her baby daughter, Kulture. Cardi B, 25, tried to do the right thing when she turned herself in to the New York Police Department after allegedly being involved in an attack on two bartenders at a strip club, but now she’s fearing it will lead to incarceration and time away from her two-month old daughter Kulture. “Cardi is confident she’ll beat these charges and be proven innocent but it’s still really scary that jail could be on the table,” a source close to Cardi EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife. “The thought of that is really terrifying for her, especially because it would mean she’d be separated from her baby girl which would be heartbreaking. Cardi can’t stand to spend even one night away from Kulture so the idea of being behind bars, away from Kulture is enough to make her cry, it’s devastating.” Cardi’s fears are understandable considering some of the serious charges she’s facing. Back in Aug. 2018, she attended Angels Strip Club in the Big Apple and after hearing that one of the two female bartenders may have slept with her husband Offset, the rapper allegedly got her crew to injure the women with bottles and chairs. We spoke with three New York attorneys who EXCLUSIVELY told us that Cardi could face up to one-two years in jail depending on how things go in court. She could also be sued for a lot of money but if she doesn’t have a troubled track record, she may be able to avoid maximum punishment. Cardi’s had quite the year when it comes to fighting. In addition to the strip club incident, the new mom made headlines when she tried to fight Nicki Minaj at the Harper’s Bazaar ICONS party during New York Fashion Week on Sept. 7. Although she didn’t get to Nicki in the crowd, she did leave the party with a huge knot on her head for trying. Cardi later took to social media to explain that she acted the way she did because she had heard that Nicki was talking ill of her daughter and like any protective mother, she did what she could to defend her baby girl. Nicki had her own explanations when she later took to her radio show to deny the claim and call Cardi a liar.<doc-sep>Cardi B turned herself in to police in New York City on Monday in connection to an alleged incident at a Queens strip club in August Will She Face Jail Time? What Cardi B's Assault and Reckless Endangerment Charges Could Mean Cardi B’s recent arrest has caused many fans to wonder: will it lead to jail time? On Monday, the “I Like It” rapper, 25, was charged with one Class A misdemeanor count of third-degree assault and two Class A misdemeanor counts of second-degree reckless endangerment stemming from a fight that took place at a strip club in Queens, New York, back in August. Get push notifications with news, features and more. According to FindLaw, the penalty for third-degree assault in New York is up to one year in jail and/or a fine of up to $1,000, while Stephen Bilkis & Associates reports that misdemeanor second-degree reckless endangerment can lead to time in county jail, a fine of up to $1,000 and/or up to three years of probation. In accordance with the New York State penal code, individuals face a count of assault in the third degree if they are found guilty of one of the following: intending to cause physical injury to another person or inadvertently injuring a third party; recklessly causing physical injury to another person; acting with criminal negligence, they cause “physical injury to another person by means of a deadly weapon or a dangerous instrument.” Cardi B Strip Club Fracas, New York, USA - 01 Oct 2018 Credit: Mark Lennihan/AP/REX/Shutterstock The terms “deadly weapon” and “dangerous instrument” are vague enough to include anything from traditional weapons to fists in a physical altercation. However, an individual also must be found guilty of “physical injury” which, according to New York legal firm Crotty and Saland, equates to “substantial pain.” While third-degree assault carries an intent to harm, reckless endangerment occurs when an individual acts irresponsibly, creating what the New York penal code defines as “a substantial risk of serious physical injury to another person.” So what exactly did Cardi do that landed her in court? Cardi was “throwing chairs, bottles and hookahs in the club at 3 a.m.,” a police spokesman told CNN. The mother of 3-month old Kulture Kiari was arrested after surrendering to police on Monday and will be arraigned on Oct. 29, PEOPLE confirmed.

In order for this to occur, there must be proof that she physically injured the two women during the altercation at the strip club. Sources close to Cardi previously denied that she was involved in the attack, according to TMZ. While the bartenders were reportedly injured during the brawl, both women declined to receive medical treatment. “We’re aware of no evidence that she caused anybody any harm on that night,” the rapper’s attorney Jeff Kern told press outside the police station on Monday. “We expect that the matter is going to be resolved expeditiously.” A lawyer for the alleged victims begs to differ. “Cardi B ordered and committed violent assaults against my clients, and is being called to justice for her crimes,” Joe Tacopina, an attorney for the alleged victims, said in a statement to PEOPLE. “Apparently, she thinks her celebrity status puts her above the law, since she has bragged to multiple people and on social media that she orchestrated these vicious attacks.”<doc-sep>Cardi B Could Face Up To “One Year In Jail” After Being Arrested Over Strip Club Fight Cardi B.

The New York rapper also reportedly had a mug shot taken and was required to provide her fingerprints. “Whether she’s a famous rapper or a common street hood, she’s got to be held accountable for her criminal actions,” said Joseph Tacopino, an attorney for Jade and Baddie G, the women who were assaulted. “It’s as simple as that: She ordered the beating after threatening my clients and later participated in an assault against them.” According to reports, Cardi B may potentially face that maximum punishment of jail time for allegedly ordering her crew to assault two bartenders over her husband Offset.
