Tiffany Haddish Facing Misdemeanor DUI Charges After Arrest – The Hollywood Reporter
Tiffany Haddish has been charged for driving under the influence after she was arrested for a second time for falling asleep behind the wheel of a car, which wasn’t moving but was blocking a roadway in Beverly Hills.
According to court records, Los Angeles prosecutors on Tuesday charged the comedian with two misdemeanors. Her arraignment is set for Dec. 22.
Haddish was arrested on Nov. 24 after the Beverly Hills Police Department responded to a call about a woman who was slumped over the wheel of a nonmoving vehicle in the middle of the road, per TMZ. The night prior, she performed in West Hollywood for a Thanksgiving event at The Laugh Factory.
A representative Haddish didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
The charges Haddish faces both relate to driving under the influence. In California, prosecutors typically pursue charges for operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol, regardless of whether the person is below the legal limit, and driving with a blood alcohol content level above .08 percent. A conviction on both charges result in only one DUI on the defendant’s record. The penalty grows with each subsequent conviction.
In 2022, Haddish was arrested in Georgia under similar circumstances. A judge overseeing that case has ordered her to refrain for consuming alcohol or drugs following her arrest in Los Angeles. She’s also required to undergo random drug testing.
