Comedian Tiffany Haddish Arrested for DUI in Beverly Hills
Early this morning, comedian Tiffany Haddish was arrested by Beverly Hills police after reportedly falling asleep behind the wheel of her stopped car on Beverly Drive. According to TMZ, Haddish was found slumped over the wheel of her car at around 5:45 a.m., with the engine still running. Video posted by TMZ shows Haddish being placed into the backseat of a police cruiser in handcuffs.
Although Haddish was not involved in an accident, she is likely to face DUI charges today. Deadline has reached out to both police officials and representatives for Haddish but has not received any further information.
This incident comes after Haddish’s performance at The Laugh Factory in West Hollywood for the venue’s annual free Thanksgiving community feast and show on Thursday evening. This is not the first time Haddish has been involved in a similar incident, as she was arrested last year in Atlanta for falling asleep at the wheel. She was charged with DUI and improper stopping on a roadway, with a trial scheduled for next month.
As the story develops, more information about Haddish’s arrest and the potential charges she may face will become available.
