Tiffany Haddish Second DUI Arrest

Georgia state prosecutors have filed a motion to modify Tiffany Haddish’s bond conditions after her second DUI arrest. They want her to be prohibited from using drugs and alcohol, and to be tested weekly for these substances. Haddish was arrested last Friday morning for falling asleep at the wheel, in Beverly Hills, California, and charged with DUI. This is almost two years after her first arrest for a suspected DUI in Georgia. Haddish’s representative has declined to comment on her latest arrest. The Beverly Hills Police Department received a call about a woman who was found in the driver’s seat of a running vehicle stopped in the middle of Beverly Drive. Haddish had performed the night before at a Thanksgiving community event. She addressed the DUI arrest during a stand-up set in Long Beach, joking about praying for a man in a uniform. On Monday, Haddish told Entertainment Tonight that this would never happen again.

We believe that the state prosecutors made a good decision by trying to prohibit her from drugs and alcohol. Offenders that don’t respect DUI laws should either get their license revoked or have drugs or alcohol prohibited from them. If you ever experience a DUI and need help don’t know who to contact A-1 Driving Schools is here for you.
