Cops were quickly alerted to news of a hit-and-run on Tuesday involving three suspects who fled from the scene of a freeway crash, according to an LAPD press release.

As officers searched for the suspects, they found Jillian, 51, stood outside her home holding a handgun.

Police said they yelled at her to drop the gun “numerous times” – but she refused.

It is unclear if Jillian was aware or involved in the hit-and-run.

The wife of the rockstar icon has since been taken into custody alongside a family babysitter.
