Pete Davidson’s reckless driving case has been dismissed after he completed a diversion program approximately six months ahead of a California judge’s deadline.
In order to get the single misdemeanor charge scrubbed from his record, the 30-year-old comedian completed ’50 hours of community service, a safe driving course and visit both a hospital and morgue to confront the fatal consequences of risky choices.’
Pete Davidson’s lawyer, Mike Cavalluzzi, appeared on his behalf over the phone to confirm that he completed Los Angeles County Judge Alexander C.D. Giza’s orders.
As for Davidson’s absence from court, Rolling Stone confirmed that Cavalluzzi stated his client resides in New York.
Cavalluzzi noted that Davidson ‘completed a Mothers Against Drunk Driving victim impact program in place of the Los Angeles County Hospitals and Morgue program.
Upon hearing that the terms of the SNL star’s diversion were successfully completed, Giza ‘dismissed’ the matter.
Last June, he was officially charged with reckless driving after crashing his Mercedes into a Beverly Hills home.
Davidson was driving the vehicle through the Flats neighborhood of Beverley Hills on Saturday March 4 around 11pm at ‘high speed’ when he lost control of the car.
His then-girlfriend Chase Sui Wonders was also in the vehicle.
The Mercedes jumped the curb and hit a fire hydrant before it crashed into the side of a nearby house, law enforcement said.
The home had to subsequently be completely demolished due to the crash impact and the homes foundation was taken down to ground zero.
Police said at the time that drugs and alcohol were not a factor in the crash.
The crash occurred hours after Davidson had presented the Kids’ Choice Awards in LA on Saturday night.
Earlier that day, the couple had lounged on a beach in Hawaii before flying back to the mainland for the ceremony.
Incredibly, no one was injured either inside or outside of the home, but the police were called to the scene and an investigation is now ongoing.
In October, Davidson has gotten into another fender bender while leaving a stand-up comedy show at The Wiltern in Los Angeles.
At the time, witnesses told Page Six that they saw him ‘swipe his car against the side of a wall while exiting the venue’ around 10 p.m.
Eyewitnesses added that they didn’t know Davidson was driving, with sources claiming people screamed, ‘Oh s**t, that was Pete!’ after he got out of the car.
