The 'Girls Trip' star allegedly fell asleep at the wheel early Friday morning.

Tiffany Haddish is facing DUI charges after she was arrested in Beverly Hills early this morning, EW has learned.

The Beverly Hills Police Department watch commander confirmed the actress' arrest and stated that Haddish is "currently in our jail being booked for DUI charges."

Local authorities told PEOPLE that they received a call at around 5:45 a.m. about a woman who had stopped in the middle of Beverly Drive with her car still running. They added that Haddish is expected to be released later today.

A rep for Haddish did not immediately respond to EW's request for comment. TMZ was the first to report the news.

According to TMZ, Haddish performed at The Laugh Factory’s free Thanksgiving dinner in West Hollywood on Thursday evening. She also previously announced on social media that she would be attending the event.

Haddish’s latest legal trouble comes after her January 2022 arrest in Georgia for a suspected DUI and improper stopping on a roadway. Peachtree City police officers responded to a 911 call around 2:30 a.m. pertaining to a driver who had allegedly fallen asleep behind the wheel on Highway 74, authorities told PEOPLE at the time. They then located the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop.

"Subsequent investigation led to Ms. Tiffany Haddish being arrested for Driving Under the Influence," authorities told the outlet. "She was transported to the Fayette County Jail without incident."

Haddish is scheduled to go to trial over the prior DUI charge on Dec. 4.

She later joked about her run-in with the law while hosting The Ellen DeGeneres Show in April 2022.

“Yes, I did get charged with a DUI, which stands for Dumb Unfortunate Incidents,” she said. After showing her mugshot, Haddish added, “Still cute! Still cute. Looking good. I’m gonna go ahead and turn that into an NFT.”
