Tiffany Haddish Pleads Guilty in Long-Delayed Georgia DUI Case

The plea ends a four-year procedural fight, imposing probation, mandatory substance evaluation and a Georgia license suspension.

Overview

  • Haddish entered a guilty plea to one count of DUI 'driving less safe' by video and avoided a scheduled trial when the disposition was accepted on Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2026.
  • The court sentenced her to 12 months of probation with credit for time served, required DUI education and a substance abuse evaluation, ordered regular testing, and dismissed the remaining traffic counts.
  • A judge denied Haddish’s motion to dismiss for a speedy-trial violation after finding some multi-year delays were caused by defense requests and scheduling motions.
  • The charge stems from a Jan. 14, 2022, Peachtree City arrest after a 911 caller reported a driver asleep behind the wheel and officers stopped a vehicle matching the caller’s description.
  • The plea follows a separate November 2023 Beverly Hills DUI arrest that was resolved by a 2024 plea, and under Georgia law a 'DUI driving less safe' conviction can be obtained without a specific blood-alcohol reading, while the Georgia license suspension does not automatically apply outside that state.
