Comedian Pete Davidson Charged With Reckless Driving After Beverly Hills Crash

LA – Three months after the Beverly Hills home incident, Pete Davidson, a former “Saturday Night Live” cast member, was charged by Los Angeles prosecutors with reckless driving.

The actor and writer were charged with one misdemeanor count of reckless driving by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, but no further information about the March 4 crash in Beverly Hills was made public.

The DA’s office says, “We believe that Mr. Davidson engaged in reckless driving, which ultimately led to his involvement in a serious collision into a home.” Fortunately, no one was critically hurt in this crash.

The date of Davidson’s arraignment is July 27. Police in Beverly Hills and his attorneys did not immediately respond to calls for comment.

Pete Davidson, a former “Saturday Night Live” cast member, was charged by Los Angeles prosecutors with reckless driving.

The prosecution utilized the high-profile case to emphasize the “devastating consequences” of irresponsible driving.

“In 2022, traffic fatalities in Los Angeles have reached the highest levels seen in 20 years,” the office stated. “We must not disregard this alarming trend. We must investigate all claims of reckless driving seriously and hold individuals accountable.

“Bupkis,” Davidson’s most recent program, debuted Peacock last month.
