Tiffany Haddish Seeks Dismissal of 2022 DUI Case Over 10 Trial-Ready Notices

Monday’s filing asks a Fayette County judge to throw out Tiffany Haddish’s DUI-related charges, arguing years of court inaction have violated her constitutional right to a speedy trial.
About 10 times since July 2024, Haddish says she has told the court she was ready for trial, yet no hearing has been held on her suppression request and prosecutors have not moved the case forward.
The motion says the delay has disrupted her work, including costly international travel and scheduling problems, while records show a 2024 trial setting was postponed and a 2025 hearing was affected by a key prosecution witness’s unavailability.
The charges stem from a Jan. 14, 2022 arrest in Peachtree City, where police said they found Haddish asleep in a vehicle and suspected she was under the influence of marijuana and alcohol.
