Neither Haddish nor anyone from her team has addressed the arrest. 

The actress had a similar run-in with the law last year in Georgia

In January 2022, police in Peachtree City received a call at 2:30 am regarding a car stalled in the middle of the highway due to the driver falling asleep behind the wheel. 

While investigating the call, officers stopped Haddish as she pulled into a neighborhood. 

The call resulted in Haddish being booked for a DUI and improper stopping on a roadway.
