Tiffany Haddish Fights DUI Case Delay: 'Toss It Out!'
13 May
Summary
- Haddish seeks dismissal of her DUI case citing over 4-year delay.
- The delay stems from unaddressed court motions impacting travel and work.
- She was arrested in January 2022 for DUI after being found asleep in her car.

Tiffany Haddish has filed a motion to dismiss her DUI case from January 2022, arguing that the prolonged legal process has violated her constitutional right to a speedy trial. The case has been stalled for over four years, with critical motions, including one to suppress evidence filed in May 2024, still awaiting a judge's ruling.
Haddish's legal team asserts they have repeatedly inquired about the case status over the past two years, consistently being informed that officials were "working on it." She claims to have announced her readiness for trial approximately ten times.
The extended delay is reportedly costing Haddish more than just patience. New court documents indicate the pending DUI case has created significant obstacles in obtaining international travel documents for overseas work, specifically citing recent issues related to Australia. This has forced her to hire costly third-party assistance.
Furthermore, Haddish claims that the unresolved case has made some companies hesitant to engage her services, negatively impacting her finances. She was initially arrested in Peachtree City, Georgia, after officers found her asleep at the wheel of her vehicle in the early morning hours. The motion now seeks a final dismissal of the case due to these extensive delays.
