‘Succession’ Star Nicholas Braun Charges Dismissed in 2025 DUI Case
A New Hampshire judge has definitively dismissed all charges against actor Nicholas Braun, best known for his role as Cousin Greg in the HBO series Succession, stemming from a 2025 arrest for driving under the influence. The resolution brings an end to a legal matter that began over the Labor Day weekend and initially involved restrictions on the actor’s personal life.
The case, which garnered significant attention due to Braun’s high profile, centered around an incident that occured late on the evening of August 29, 2025. Braun spent nearly an hour in the Carroll County Jail before being released. He was initially charged with driving while intoxicated and operating a vehicle without proper headlights.
Following his arrest,Braun pleaded not guilty in September 2025. As a condition of his bail, the Succession star was ordered to abstain from all alcohol and narcotics. However, the case took a turn in November when a toxicology report revealed Braun’s blood alcohol level was within the legal limits.
“The toxicology report was the key factor in this outcome,” stated a spokesperson for the New Hampshire Judicial department to the Daily Mail in recent hours. “Based on the evidence, the judge granted the request for annulment, and the matter is now closed.”
The dismissal means Braun will not be required to appear in court again regarding this incident. The actor,who also owns the popular New York City celebrity hotspot Ray’s Bar,can now fully resume his career and personal life without the shadow of these charges.
The resolution highlights the importance of accurate forensic evidence in legal proceedings and offers a positive outcome for the actor, who has become a fan favorite for his portrayal of the often-awkward and ambitious Greg Hirsch alongside co-stars Jeremy Strong, Kieran culkin, Brian Cox, and Sarah Snook in Succession.
