The 25-year-old actress had faced two DUI felony charges and a hit-and-run misdemeanor charge for an 2023 traffic accident.

Haley Pullos is doing time for her 2023 DUI and wrong-way car crash.

The General Hospital star, 25, was booked into the Los Angeles County jail system on Monday afternoon, according to L.A. Sheriff's Department records. An attorney for the actress, Mark Daniel Melnick, confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that Pullos surrendered to 90 days in jail after pleading no contest to a DUI charge from a car accident one year ago.

When she returns to court on July 29, after serving three months at Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, she will be sentenced to five years of probation, 200 hours of community service, and more than $8,000 in restitution to the other driver in the accident.

"Haley is very grateful to the court for a minimum sentence and for recognizing her remorse and the strides she has made in her sobriety," Melnick told EW.

Pullos was arrested April 29, 2023, after allegedly driving the wrong direction on a freeway and colliding with another driver. She was charged with one felony count of driving under the influence of an alcoholic beverage causing injury, one felony count of driving with a .08% blood alcohol content causing injury, and one count of misdemeanor hit-and-run driving resulting in property damage.

The actress, who had played Molly Lansing-Davis on General Hospital since 2009 and received a Daytime Emmy nomination for her work on the soap in 2015, took a leave of absence from the show after the crash. Her other TV credits include House, Dollhouse, and Mr. Mayor.

According to the Daily Mail, which first reported the news, Pullos initially pleaded not guilty to all charges but reached a plea deal with the district attorney's office, ultimately pleading no contest to one DUI charge in exchange for the other DUI charge and hit-and-run misdemeanor charge being dropped.
