Pete Davidson charged with reckless driving

LOS ANGELES –

Los Angeles prosecutors charged former “Saturday Night Live” star Pete Davidson with reckless driving on Friday, three months after authorities said he drove into a Beverly Hills home.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney filed one misdemeanor charge of reckless driving against the actor and writer, but did not release details about the March 4 car crash in Beverly Hills.

“We believe that Mr. Davidson was guilty of reckless driving, which ultimately resulted in his involvement in a serious collision with a residence,” the OM wrote. “Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in this collision.”

Davidson’s arraignment is scheduled for July 27. His representatives and the Beverly Hills Police Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Prosecutors used the high-profile case to highlight the “devastating consequences” of reckless driving.

“By 2022, traffic fatalities in Los Angeles will reach their highest level in 20 years,” the agency wrote in its statement. “This is an alarming trend that we cannot ignore, so it is critical that we take all allegations of reckless driving seriously and hold those responsible accountable.”

Davidson’s latest show, “Bupkis,” debuted on Peacock last month.
