Tiffany Haddish CHARGED for second DUI arrest in two years – after star was found asleep behind the wheel in the middle of the street
Tiffany Haddish has been charged in her latest DUI arrest – three weeks after she was found asleep behind the wheel of her car in Beverly Hills.
The 44-year-old actress’ case was under review by the L.A. District Attorney’s Office – who have now decided to charge her with driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a .08% BAC, reports TMZ.
Responding officers reportedly discovered Haddish asleep behind the wheel of her car which was still running and in the middle of the busy Beverly Drive on November 24.
This is a second DUI arrest for the star, who was previously found sleeping in her car in Georgia in January 2022.
DailyMail.com has contacted Haddish’s representatives for comment.

This comes after reports Haddish will reportedly have to stop drinking and undergo random drug testing after she was arrested for her second DUI.
In documents, obtained by RadarOnline.com, the star was allegedly ordered by a Georgia judge to abstain from alcohol or consuming any illegal drugs last week.
According to the publication, the ‘decision came after prosecutors asked the court to modify Haddish’s bond conditions’ following her recent arrest in in Beverly Hills, California on suspicion of driving under the influence.
In their motion, prosecutors informed the court that ‘Haddish had been arrested on November 24, 2023.’
Police found the actress asleep behind the wheel of her car, located in the middle of the busy street Beverly Drive, when it was still running.
Haddish was reportedly ‘slumped over the wheel while the car was running,’ according to TMZ.
After her latest brush with the law, prosecutors are said to have ‘asked that Haddish’s bond be modified to include a provision stating Haddish cannot drink and must be drug tested.’
During the hearing, the judge reportedly ‘granted the motion’ and ‘ordered Haddish not to drink, use drugs including Hem products such as CBD.’
The order, however, allows her to take prescription drugs ‘within the therapeutic limit.’
Additionally, the site claims she will ‘submit to a drug test panel that detects the use of general illegal drugs and shall include testing for ETG and ETS, alcohol metabolites.’
DailyMail.com has reached out to Haddish’s representatives, but did not hear back as of press time.
Following her November arrest, hours after her comedy show at the Laugh Factory in Long Beach on Thanksgiving, she vowed to ‘get help.’

The Girls Trip star revealed that she has remained ‘in good spirits’ after the incident, and according to the outlet, ‘complimented the Beverly Hills Police Department for their professionalism and how they handled the situation.’
Her statement comes after source close to the star told DailyMail.com that Haddish is full of ‘regret’ and is keen to shut down any suggestion she has an alcohol problem.
Haddish, who is relieved that no one was hurt by her ‘mistake’, is reportedly conscious of being defined by the incident.
‘Tiffany regrets that she is in the news for being arrested, but is grateful that nobody got hurt,’ an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively. ‘She is going to tackle it all head-on and get the right lawyers.
‘She doesn’t want this to define her or have people think she needs help. She made a mistake, and it is not because she has an alcohol problem. It was just a bad thing that she got herself into and she is working on moving on from it.’

In a video obtained by the outlet, the actress and comedian can be seen with her hands cuffed behind her back as she is escorted to a patrol car. The arrest was said to be ‘peaceful’ with no resistance.
It came hours after she performed a stand-up set at The Laugh Factory on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood for the club’s 43rd annual free Thanksgiving feast for the community.

Officers told the site they believed that she had been smoking marijuana.
Soon after, her mug shot was released, showing the star smiling and makeup free.
She addressed the arrest days later during an appearance on The Tonight Show, telling host Fallon: ‘I can say this, Jimmy … I’ve been praying to God to send me a new man. A good man. And God went ahead and sent me four. In uniform.’
She continued: ‘And now I got a really great lawyer, and we’re going to work it out. I’ve got to get my asking of things to God a little better!’
