TIFFANY HADDISH ARRESTED FOR DUI ...Allegedly Asleep at Wheel

Tiffany Haddish is facing a DUI charge after cops say she was dozing in the driver's seat of her vehicle early Friday morning in Georgia ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement tells us Tiffany was arrested by Peachtree City PD officers around 4 AM ET. Although she was getting booked for DUI, the comedian still managed to smile for the camera when cops snapped her mug shot.

Cops were responding to a call for a driver who'd fallen asleep at the wheel. Officers had a description of the vehicle and were on the lookout for it when they spotted Tiffany pulling into a neighborhood.

They stopped her and arrested her for DUI and improper stopping on a roadway. Cops believe she'd smoked marijuana.

Tiffany was only in police custody for a few hours. According to records, obtained by TMZ, she posted $1,666 to bond out of jail around 6:30 AM.

We've reached out to Tiffany's reps for comment, but no word back yet.

Obviously, it's no excuse for driving impaired ... but we do know Tiffany's been dealing with a lot of loss lately. Sources connected tell us her grandmother, who raised her, recently died -- as did her dog, and her close friends Bob Saget and producer Carl Craig.

glad neither she nor anyone else was injured
 
Way too old to not know better. :tdown: I always think adults this old who get DUI charges probably have had dependency problems for a long time. In this day there are many resources available for a ride home.

I don't really understand this....she was asleep at the wheel but she was driving into a neighborhood? did someone see her sleeping at the wheel (while parked?) and report her? if she was asleep while driving she would have crashed. not saying she wasn't under the influence but I don't understand this story

she was driving but she fell asleep and stopped improperly. Someone in the neighborhood noticed that she was sleep behind the wheel of her car and they called the police. Police found Tiffany sleep behind the wheel and they woke her up and she was arrested under suspicion of DUI. The Officers told Daily Mail that they believed that she had been smoking marijuana. It was 4 am Eastern time in Georgia. Officers also claimed that when police officers spotted her vehicle she was just pulling off the road but it seems like she hadn't pulled off the road completely.



here's a link to another article.

FYI I had a previous supervisor would drive the whole team out when we had to go out into the field. So we go to the site and work until it was lunch time and during lunch time the supervisor would eat too much. So then they would end up in a food coma so to speak e.g.sleepy. When went lunch was over they would drive the team back to the site, while he was driving back to the site and when he would end up at a stop light fell would fall asleep. It's was so scary to me. One of my co workers at that time said that the supervisor drives better when they are asleep than when they are awake, SMH. ( I didn't think that joke was funny.)

TMZ tends to write those short articles, this one is longer and paints a clearer picture.



‘Common Come Get Your Gyrl’: Tiffany Haddish Arrested In Georgia for DUI After Allegedly Falling Asleep at the Wheel

The “Girls Trip” actress reportedly was pulled over by Peachtree City Police after officers in the city located in Fayette County, Georgia, received a 911 call reporting a driver falling asleep behind the wheel of a 2021 Ford Explorer around 2:30 a.m. According to NBC News, Matt Myers, the assistant chief for the Peachtree City Police Department, said before the call came in, another officer initially observed Haddish stop in the road as well. Fayette County 911 dispatchers issued a be-on-the-lookout alert for the vehicle.

Officers caught up with Haddish, 42, as she was pulling into the yard of a residence. A “subsequent investigation led to Ms. Tiffany Haddish being arrested for Driving Under the Influence,” Myers said in an email.



The “Bad Trip” actress, who was in the state working on Disney’s upcoming “Haunted Mansion” film, reportedly refused a breathalyzer test, which led to her immediate arrest. She was suspected by authorities to have been under the influence of marijuana and was also charged with improper stopping on a roadway, according to TMZ.

Haddish reportedly was taken to the Fayette County Jail without incident. Following her arrest, Haddish paid her $1,666 bond and was released around 6:30 a.m. local time.

Fan reactions to the news ranged from concern to defense of the star.

“Glad she is alive and didn’t hurt herself or anyone else”

“You can fall asleep at the wheel and not be under the influence…”

“Common, come get yo gyal [laughing with tears emoji] [laughing with tears emoji]”

Haddish recently opened up about the impact that the loss of her “father figure,” mentor, and friend Bob Saget has had on her since his Jan. 9 death. The comedian and actor was laid to rest on Friday, Jan. 14, and Haddish reflected on their friendship. “That man — he taught me so much,” she told ET’s Nischelle Turner. “I met him when I was 16 at the Laugh Factory Comedy Camp. He was always encouraging and kind.”

She added, “You know when you watch TV shows and you’re like, ‘I wish I had a dad like that?’ He became like this; he was instantly like a father figure to me,” she said of the “Full House” star. “Around the time I turned to like 21 he shifted from a father figure type to like a big brother. He’d be like, ‘All right, let’s go out.’ He would send me messages and tell me he was proud of me.”

Haddish also noted that she’s “going through some things” at the moment following her breakup with rapper Common, and the additional recent losses of her grandmother, her dog and producer and friend Carl Craig.

“I’m going through some things over here,” she said. “My personal life is in shambles. This year people are like ‘Happy New Year!’ I’m like, no, neutral New Year. I’m gonna be neutral in the year.”

It’s a poorly written article. It sounds as if a civilian saw her asleep at the wheel but, by the time officers responded, she was mobile.
I found another article that gives more information.
