Pete Davidson has been charged with reckless driving after crashing his car into a Beverly Hills house earlier this year. According to police, the former Saturday Night Live star and his girlfriend, Chase Sui Wonders, were involved in the smash, with him behind the wheel of a Mercedes.
It was reported that the incident happened on March 4 at around 11pm when Pete was allegedly driving fast in a residential street before losing control. Sources also claimed that Pete curbed the car and ran over a fire hydrant before hitting the house. On the night, police didn't suspect drugs or alcohol to be involved, and Pete was not arrested.
Luckily, no one was hurt in the incident, although the homeowner reportedly suggested the 16-year-old who was in the building at the time was ‘a bit’ traumatised. However, the homeowner added that they didn't have any intention of filing a lawsuit against the comedian.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office released a statement saying: "We know that reckless driving can have devastating consequences. In 2022, traffic fatalities in Los Angeles have reached the highest levels seen in 20 years. This is an alarming trend that we cannot ignore. As a result, it's crucial that we take all allegations of reckless driving seriously and hold those responsible accountable."
The Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts star is due to be arraigned on July 27. This comes after Pete unleashed an explicit voicemail on animal rights charity Peta who slammed him for buying a dog instead of adopting. The Bupkis star was spotted picking up a cavapoo from a pet shop following the death of his family dog, Henry. When the trip made the headlines, the charity accused the comedian of ‘propping up the puppy mill industry.’
It's clear that despite the controversy, Pete Davidson is still living life as he pleases. We will have to wait until the arraignment in July to learn more about the outcome of this reckless driving incident.
