Tiffany Haddish was arrested for driving under the influence.

The comedian and actress was arrested early on Friday morning by Peachtree City Police Department in Georgia.

Police told Metro.co.uk in a statement: ‘At approximately 2:30 AM on January 14, 2022, Peachtree City Police Officers responded to a 911 call regarding a driver asleep at the wheel on Hwy 74.

‘While en route, an officer observed a vehicle matching the description and ultimately conducted a traffic stop as the vehicle pulled into the yard of a residence. and made contact with the driver.

‘Subsequent investigation led to Ms. Tiffany Haddish being arrested for Driving Under the Influence. She was transported to the Fayette County Jail without incident. ‘

She was reportedly only in police custody for a few hours, and paid $1,666 (£1218) to bond out of jail around 6:30am.

Haddish has not publicly addressed the reports.

Late last year, Haddish and her partner Common split after a year of dating.

Common, 49, opened up about their separation and said they both decided to call it quits after struggling to spend time together due to their busy work schedules.

However, Haddish, 42, cast doubt on that version of events and said she’s ultimately ‘disappointed’ with her ex.

Speaking to Jason Lee on Fox Soul’s Hollywood Unlocked Uncensored, she explained: ‘He might be the type of person that never really settles with somebody, maybe he’s like, you know, like a bee going from flower to flower to flower. 

‘I don’t know. I wish him nothing but joy and happiness, you know. He will always be cool.’
