Tiffany Haddish moves to dismiss stalled Georgia DUI case

After more than four years of delays, Tiffany Haddish is asking a Georgia court to toss her DUI case, claiming the holdup has hurt her work and travel.

The comedian filed a motion to dismiss, arguing the court violated her constitutional right to a speedy trial. She was arrested in Peachtree City in January 2022 after officers found her asleep behind the wheel and suspected marijuana use. Key motions, including one to suppress evidence argued in May 2024, remain undecided despite repeated status checks by her lawyers over the past two years. Haddish says she announced readiness for trial around ten times while waiting for rulings that never arrived. The unresolved case has created problems obtaining travel documents for overseas jobs, including recent issues tied to Australia, and forced her to hire costly third-party assistance. Some companies have reportedly been reluctant to work with her because of the pending matter, causing financial strain. Court records obtained by TMZ detail her claims that officials kept telling her team they were still working on it.

The Ventura County Sheriff's Office has opted not to release Britney Spears' booking photo from her recent DUI arrest, citing departmental policy that reserves such disclosures for violent crimes or immediate public threats. This follows her arrest earlier this month for erratic driving, after which she was released and is pursuing treatment ahead of a May 4 court date.

A judge in Georgia has awarded more than $56 million to the family of Beth Buchanan, a 23-year-old Ph.D. student killed by an alleged drunk driver in 2023. Buchanan died while driving her mother to the Atlanta airport when Cesar Raudales Macias allegedly drove the wrong way on a highway and crashed head-on into her car.
