Roy Rochlin/Getty Images for Fanatics Tiffany Haddish lit up with one of her signature smiles Tuesday when a judge said she would serve “no more jail time” after pleading guilty to a single count of driving under the influence in Georgia.
The actress and comedian appeared by video at the court hearing in Fayette County as she accepted responsibility for the January 2022 incident where someone called 911 about a driver asleep at the wheel at a traffic light. In video of the hearing, obtained by The Associated Press, Haddish grinned broadly as the judge said all other charges would be dropped, based on the recommendation of prosecutors.
Haddish was officially sentenced to 12 months of probation and 24 hours in jail, though she was credited with time served. Under the terms of her probation, she must avoid drugs and alcohol, submit to testing, complete 40 hours of community service, undergo a substance abuse evaluation, and complete a DUI counseling program.
The performer who won a Grammy for her 2019 comedy album Black Mitzvah was arrested in January 2022 after she was pulled over driving a white Ford Explorer south of Atlanta. The 911 caller reportedly claimed someone had been passed out in the driver’s seat of the SUV, with their foot on the brake, in Peachtree City.
Haddish was arrested again in November 2023 in Beverly Hills, California, on suspicion of driving under the influence. In that case, police said they responded to a call of a person blocking a roadway, possibly slumped over the wheel. The officers encountered Haddish and took her into custody.
