The 42-year-old actress was arrested for driving under the influence in Georgia earlier this month after a witness reported a driver asleep behind the wheel. Assistant Police Chief Matt Myers confirmed a vehicle was pulled over while pulling into a local residence by Peachtree City Police. Haddish was released after paying a $1,666 bond, and a court date has neither been confirmed nor revealed.
“Subsequent investigation led to Ms. Tiffany Haddish being arrested for Driving Under the Influence,” police told PEOPLE. “She was transported to the Fayette County Jail without incident.”
The Girls Trip star also spoke about the death of comedian and actor Bob Saget during her appearance on The Tonight Show. Saget died on January 9th, and the two shared a close relationship.
“[Saget] was like a big mentor to me, a big brother, a father figure. He meant a lot to me,” Haddish told Fallon. “Funny man. He was the first white man to ever tell me, ‘Just be yourself, just be who you are, Tiffany. Don’t worry about nothing. Just be you.’ That was huge for me.”
