Summary
Tiffany Haddish avoided further jail time Tuesday after pleading guilty by video to a misdemeanor alcohol-related driving charge tied to her January 2022 Georgia arrest.
A Fayette County judge placed her on 12 months' probation, ordered her to avoid drugs and alcohol, complete a substance-abuse evaluation, and gave her credit for brief time already spent in jail; other charges were dropped.
The case began after a 2:30 a.m. 911 call reported a driver asleep at a Peachtree City traffic light with a foot on the brake, and police later stopped Haddish's white Ford Explorer nearby.
Her lawyers had sought dismissal in May, arguing the more than four-year delay violated her speedy-trial rights, but the judge said Haddish's side caused some postponements and showed no specific financial or career harm.
The Georgia plea follows a separate November 2023 Beverly Hills arrest in which Haddish reached a February 2024 deal that dropped two misdemeanor DUI charges after she pleaded no contest to a vehicle-code violation.
