Tiffany Haddish GA Prosecutors Want to Restrict Drug, Alcohol Use After 2nd DUI

Tiffany Haddish needs to be barred from consuming drugs and alcohol after her latest DUI arrest in California ... at least that's what prosecutors want in Georgia, where she also has a DUI case.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, state prosecutors in Georgia want a court there to modify the bond conditions from her open DUI case to restrict her from using booze and drugs.

They're asking for this change due to Tiffany's latest DUI arrest on the other side of the country ... which happened last week in Beverly Hills.

As we first told you ... Tiffany was arrested early last Friday morning -- after a Thanksgiving night gig at the Laugh Factory -- with Bev Hills PD officers putting Tiffany in handcuffs and arresting her. They'd gotten a call around 5:45 AM about someone stopped in the middle of Beverly Drive, allegedly slumped behind the wheel of a car with the engine running.

Remember ... Tiffany was previously busted for DUI in Georgia back in January 2022, when she was also allegedly asleep behind the wheel after smoking marijuana.

She posted bond in that case, and now with the second alleged DUI, Georgia prosecutors are asking the court to change her bond conditions to add a restriction on narcotics and alcohol, and to require weekly testing for both. The judge hasn't ruled yet.

Tiffany Haddish está tomando en serio su arresto por Conducir Bajo Influencia de Sustancias (DUI, por sus siglas en inglés) la madrugada del viernes, un cambio importante en su tono después de responder de manera cómica durante un espectáculo de comedia menos de un día después.

En una nueva entrevista, la actriz admite que necesita "buscar ayuda" para "encontrar el equilibrio y límites" después de su segundo DUI, siendo el primero en enero de 2022, prometiendo que "esto nunca volverá a suceder".

La estrella de "Girls Trip" le contó a Kevin Frazier de ET sobre los eventos que llevaron a su arresto, mencionando que se quedó dormida en su Tesla después de un largo día de Acción de Gracias, alimentando a personas desfavorecidas y actuando en el Laugh Factory de Los Ángeles, sin darse cuenta de que su vehículo había bloqueado parte de la calle después de estacionarse automáticamente.

TMZ dio a conocer la historia mientras parte del arresto de Tiffany se desarrollaba en cámara, con la policía esposándola y llevándola a la parte trasera de una patrulla policial en Beverly Hills, fichándola bajo sospecha de DUI.

Pero, menos de 24 horas después de su tiempo en la celda, la estrella cumplió con una presentación programada en Long Beach, refrescando su rutina al incorporar una broma inspirada en su arresto.

A pesar de recurrir a la comedia para abordar el tema del arresto, Tiffany evitó más problemas a futuro, optando por el asiento del pasajero en lugar de conducir a casa después de la actuación.

TIFFANY HADDISH VOWS TO GET HELP AFTER BH ARREST ... No More DUIs For Me

Tiffany Haddish is getting serious about her early morning DUI arrest on Friday -- a major shift in tone after briefly responding comically during a stand-up set less than a day later.

In a new interview, the actress admits she needs to "get help" to "learn balance and boundaries" in the aftermath of her second DUI -- the first coming in January 2022 -- vowing "this will never happen again."

The "Girls Trip" star told ET's Kevin Frazier about the events leading up to her arrest ... saying she dozed off in her Tesla after a long Thanksgiving day of feeding underprivileged people and performing at L.A.'s Laugh Factory -- not realizing her vehicle had blocked off a portion of the street after parking itself.

TMZ broke the story as part of Tiffany's arrest unfolded on camera ... with cops throwing her in handcuffs and escorting her to the back of a police car in Beverly Hills ... booking her on suspicion of DUI.

But, less than 24 hours after her stint in a jail cell, the star honored a scheduled gig in Long Beach ... freshening up her set by weaving in a joke inspired by her arrest.

But, despite leaning into comedy to address the bust, afterward, Tiffany steered clear of any more dramas ... opting for the passenger seat instead of driving home after the set.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

WWE Legend Tammy Sytch Sentenced To 17 Years In Prison ... For Fatal Car Crash

112723_tammy_sytch_judge_kal
SYTCH SENTENCED

WWE legend Tammy Sytch has been ordered to spend roughly the next decade and a half in prison for her role in a 2022 car crash that killed a 75-year-old man.

Sytch learned her fate inside of a Volusia County courtroom on Monday morning ... three months after she pled no contest to, among other charges, one felony count of DUI causing death.

Sytch -- wearing an orange jumpsuit and shackles on her wrists -- addressed the courtroom for a few minutes during the hearing, which lasted several hours and featured testimonies from people affiliated with the case, including a medical expert who evaluated the former wrestling personality in the spring.

112723_tammy_sytch_kal
ADDRESSING THE JUDGE

Sytch broke down in tears during her speech and apologized for her actions. At one point, the 50-year-old also turned to the victim's family and said, "I know my words are not enough but please know that I think about you every day."

When the judge ultimately sentenced her to 17 years in prison, Sytch appeared stoic -- before she was taken out of the courtroom by officials.

Sytch -- also known as "Sunny" in the ring -- has been locked behind bars since May 2022 ... after prosecutors claimed she drunkenly slammed her car into Julian Lasseter's, killing him during a horrific March 2022 crash in Florida.

According to authorities, Sytch barreled into Lasseter while he was stopped at a traffic light. They alleged that at the time of the wreck, she had a blood alcohol content of .08 or higher.

Sytch was hit with eight total charges over the incident ... and, at first, she pled not guilty to all of the charges, though she changed her pleas in August after reaching an agreement with prosecutors.

Following the plea deal, she had been facing a prison sentence of up to 25 years.

The judge also said during Tuesday's proceedings that Sytch will be required to serve 8 years of probation following her prison sentence ... and her driver's license has been permanently revoked.

The case was not the first time Sytch -- who was elected into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2011 -- had been accused of drinking and driving ... she had previously been arrested at least six times prior for impaired driving.

LEYENDA DE LA WWE, TAMMY SYTCH SENTENCIADA A 17 AÑOS DE PRISIÓN Por Fatal Accidente Automovilístico

112723_tammy_sytch_judge_kal
SYTCH SENTENCIADA

La leyenda de la WWE, Tammy Sytch, ha sido condenada a pasar casi década y media en prisión por su papel en un accidente automovilístico en 2022 que causó la muerte de un hombre de 75 años.

Sytch conoció su destino dentro de una sala de la corte del condado de Volusia el lunes por la mañana, tres meses después de declararse sin oposición a, entre otros cargos, el delito grave de conducir bajo los efectos del alcohol, ocasionando una muerte.

Sytch, vistiendo un mono naranja y grilletes en sus muñecas, se dirigió a la sala de audiencias durante unos minutos, duró varias horas y contó con testimonios de personas vinculadas al caso, incluyendo un experto médico que evaluó a la ex personalidad de la lucha libre en la primavera.

112723_tammy_sytch_kal
DIRIGIÉNDOSE AL JUEZ

Sytch se quebró en lágrimas durante su discurso y se disculpó por sus acciones. También se dirigió a la familia de la víctima y dijo: "Sé que mis palabras no son suficientes, pero por favor, sepan qué pienso en ustedes todos los días".

Cuando el juez finalmente la condenó a 17 años de prisión, Sytch lució estoica, antes de ser sacada de la sala por los oficiales.

Sytch, también conocida como "Sunny" en el ring, ha estado tras las rejas desde mayo de 2022, después de que los fiscales afirmaran que chocó su automóvil contra el de Julian Lasseter, matándolo durante un aparatoso accidente en marzo de 2022 en Florida.

De acuerdo con las autoridades, Sytch embistió a Lasseter mientras estaba detenido en un semáforo. Alegaron que al momento del accidente, tenía un contenido de alcohol en sangre de .08 o superior.

Sytch enfrentó un total de ocho cargos por el incidente… e inicialmente, se declaró no culpable de todos los cargos, aunque cambió sus declaraciones en agosto después de llegar a un acuerdo con los fiscales.

Después del acuerdo de culpabilidad, se enfrentaba a una sentencia de prisión de hasta 25 años.

El juez también dijo durante la audiencia del martes que Sytch deberá cumplir 8 años de libertad condicional después de su condena a prisión… y su licencia de conducir ha sido revocada permanentemente.

Este no fue el primer caso en el que Sytch, quien fue incluida en el Salón de la Fama de la WWE en 2011, fue acusada de conducir bajo los efectos del alcohol… anteriormente, había sido arrestada al menos seis veces por conducir alcoholizada.

UFC Star Tony Ferguson Sentenced To Probation ... In Truck Wreck Case

UFC star Tony Ferguson has been sentenced to one year of probation in his truck wreck
case, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

According to court records, Ferguson was tagged with the punishment on Nov. 20, after reaching an agreement with prosecutors.

The records show as part of the deal with officials, Ferguson pleaded no contest to one misdemeanor count of wet reckless driving upon a highway. In exchange, his DUI charge was dismissed.

THE CRASH SCENE
ONSCENE.TV

As we reported, Ferguson had first been hit with the driving under the influence count in the spring ... after authorities alleged he drunkenly crashed his pickup truck into two parked cars outside of a Hollywood club just before 2 AM on May 7.

The scene was terrifying ... Ferguson's truck had ended up on its side after the alleged crash -- though, somehow, he and nobody else were injured.

Ferguson had initially pleaded not guilty to the charge in June.

With the case behind him, the 39-year-old who last fought in July, is now slated to step into the Octagon next against Paddy Pimblett at UFC 296 on Dec. 16.

Tiffany Haddish Addresses New DUI in Stand-Up Set With 'Answered Prayers' Joke

1125-tiffany-haddish-TMZ-audio-art-desktop-1 11/24/23
SO, ABOUT LAST NIGHT...
TMZ.com

Tiffany Haddish got up in front of a crowd to crack jokes less than a day after getting arrested for DUI -- and when she was asked about it point blank, she leaned on comedy.

As we reported ... TH was scheduled to perform at the Laugh Factory in Long Beach Friday -- this after a set she'd done the previous night in L.A., before getting busted by Beverly Hills cops the following morning -- and TMZ obtained audio from part of that Long Beach show.

1125-tiffany-haddish-TMZ-audio-art-desktop-3 11/24/23
earlier in the set ...
TMZ.com

Take a listen to how Tiffany responded when an audience member asked about what happened "last night" ... obviously referring to her getting led away in handcuffs Friday AM.

Tiffany doesn't really cop to anything -- including the alleged DUI -- but she does say her prayers for a man in uniform were certainly answered ... something the crowd ate up. In other words, she rolled with it and made the whole thing into a well-delivered punchline.

Like we told you ... Tiffany left her Long Beach gig in the backseat of an SUV Friday evening, and it looks like she had some friendly company with her. What's interesting is that earlier in the day, she was in jail after getting taken in and booked earlier that same morning.

Tiffany is alleged to have been found asleep at the wheel in Bev Hills -- and cops say they found probable cause to take her in on suspicion of DUI ... and her arrest is on video.

112423_tiffany_haddish_kal 11/23/23

TMZ.com

Outside of this set, Tiffany hasn't talked about the DUI arrest publicly.

By the way, if it seems like she came up with that "man in uniform" line pretty quickly, that's because she deployed the same line shortly after her 2022 Georgia DUI ... when she was a guest on the 'Tonight Show.'

Tiffany Haddish Aborda su detención en rutina de stand-up Se ríe con un chiste!!!

1125-tiffany-haddish-TMZ-audio-art-desktop-1 11/24/23
Sobre lo que pasó anoche...
TMZ.com

Tiffany Haddish se paró frente a una multitud apenas unas horas después de ser arrestada por conducir bajo los efectos del alcohol (DUI), y cuando se le preguntó directamente por eso se apoyó en la comedia.

Como informamos, estaba programado que Tiffany Haddish actuara en Laugh Factory en Long Beach el viernes, esto es al día siguiente del show que había hecho la noche anterior en Los Ángeles y, apenas unas horas antes de ser arrestada por la policía de Beverly Hills. Y TMZ obtuvo el audio de parte de su rutina.

1125-tiffany-haddish-TMZ-audio-art-desktop-3 11/24/23
El show debe continuar
TMZ.com

Escucha cómo Tiffany responde cuando el público le pregunta por lo que sucedió "anoche", obviamente refiriéndose al incidente que la llevó a ser esposada el viernes por la mañana.

Tiffany realmente no dice nada, incluyendo el supuesto cargo por DUI, pero sí dice que sus oraciones por un hombre de uniforme fueron ciertamente respondidas, algo que a la multitud le gustó. En otras palabras, hizo de todo el asunto un chiste bien entregado.

Como les contamos, Tiffany se fue de su concierto en Long Beach en el asiento trasero de un SUV y parece que estaba en compañía de un amigo. Lo que es interesante es que apenas unas horas antes en el día, estuvo tras las rejas después de haber sido detenida.

Supuestamente, Tiffany se encontraba dormida sobre el volante cuando la encontraron en Beverly Hills, y los policías dicen que estimaron como causa probable la conducción bajo los efectos del alcohol. Pueden ver su detención en este video.

Fuera del set, Tiffany no ha hablado públicamente del arresto. Nos pusimos en contacto con su equipo para que hicieran comentarios, pero hasta ahora no hemos tenido respuesta.

Tiffany Haddish Hits Laugh Factory Again After DUI ... Gets Ride Home This Time!!!

Tiffany Haddish had a busy Friday -- she was in a jail cell in the AM, and was back to joking in front of a crowd about 12 hours later ... but there was a big difference for night #2.

Check out these pics of TH leaving the Laugh Factory in Long Beach, CA late Friday night ... where she was scheduled to perform just a day after hitting the Los Angeles location and getting busted for DUI the following morning.

Doesn't look like she let a little thing like an arrest deter her from hitting the stage ... 'cause this is her leaving the venue after her set, and she was riding in the backseat with a pal.

We have no idea who this fella is ... but he and Tiff seemed to having a ball back there.

112423_tiffany_haddish_kal 11/23/23
TIFFANY IN CUFFS
TMZ.com

In any case, it's good to see she learned her lesson from earlier in the day -- when cops threw her in handcuffs and into the back of a police cruiser in Beverly Hills ... booking her on suspicion of DUI, this after they apparently found her asleep at the wheel while parked.

It marks Tiffany's second DUI in about a year -- remember, she'd been arrested for another DUI out in Georgia back in 2022 and is supposed to be going to trial soon to fight it.

Now, as for how this 2nd night at the Laugh Factory went in terms of laughs/crowd reception ... no word on that yet. We haven't been able to find any reviews of how good her set was, but considering LB is L.A.-adjacent -- ya gotta imagine she touched on the new DUI.

Like we said, the fact she was brave enough to get back up there after a legal setback like that is telling -- Tiff seems to see her gigs through and through, regardless of circumstance.

TH hasn't addressed the arrest publicly, but she might've vented to the audience last night. Time will tell if this latest DUI bust sticks or not ... CA's pretty strict on that kind of stuff.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

TIFFANY HADDISH Vuelve a Laugh Factory después de ser detenida Esta vez la llevan a casa!!!

Tiffany Haddish tuvo un viernes ocupado. Estuvo en una celda por la mañana y alrededor de 12 horas después volvió a los escenarios para hacer bromas delante de una multitud de personas, pero con una gran diferencia respecto a la noche anterior.

Echa un vistazo a estas fotos de Tiffany dejando Laugh Factory en Long Beach, California, la noche del viernes. Estaba programado que la comediante también actuara al día siguiente de ser arrestada por conducir en estado de ebriedad.

No parece que Tiffanny dejara que una cosa tan pequeña como un arresto la disuadiera de estar sobre el escenario, porque en estas fotos se la ve saliendo del set y en el asiento trasero con un amigo.

No tenemos ni idea de quién es el tipo, pero parece que ambos lo están pasando muy bien.

112423_tiffany_haddish_kal 11/23/23
Tiffany esposada
TMZ.com

En cualquier caso, es bueno ver que aprendió la lección de la mañana, cuando los policías le pusieron las esposas en la parte trasera de un coche patrulla en Beverly Hills. Tiffany fue detenida como sospechosa por conducir en estado de ebriedad (DUI), después de que aparentemente la encontraron dormida al volante mientras estaba estacionada.

Este es el segundo DUI que enfrenta Tiffany en aproximadamente un año. Recuerden, también fue detenida por un cargo similar en Georgia en 2022 y se supone que va a ir a juicio pronto por eso.

Ahora, en cuanto a cómo estuvo esta segunda noche en Laugh Factory, en términos de risas y recepción de la multitud, no tenemos información sobre eso todavía. No hemos sido capaces de encontrar ninguna crítica de su show, pero teniendo en cuenta que el club está cerca de Los Ángeles, podemos imaginar que abordó su nueva detención.

Como hemos dicho, el hecho de que fuera lo suficientemente valiente como para volver allí después de un contratiempo legal como ese es revelador. Tiff parece sacar sus funciones adelante y adelante, independientemente de las circunstancias.

La comediante no se ha referido a la detención públicamente, pero podría haberse desahogado con el público anoche. El tiempo dirá lo que sucede con este último cargo, California es bastante estricto en ese tipo de cosas.

DEAN DELEO DE STONE TEMPLE PILOTS ARRESTADO POR CONDUCIR EBRIO Y POR VIOLENCIA DOMÉSTICA

Dean DeLeo —guitarrista de la banda de rock Stone Temple Pilots— fue esposado y fichado por delito grave de violencia doméstica en el condado de Ventura en octubre después de que la policía dice que se metió en una pelea con su esposa, Jenn.

Fuentes policiales nos dicen Jenn tomó medidas rápidas después de que Dean saliera de la casa en estado de embriaguez, llamando a la policía para hacerles saber que estaba conduciendo ebrio.

Se nos dice que los oficiales encontraron rápidamente al músico, lo detuvieron y lo arrestaron por conducir ebrio.

Mientras estaba bajo custodia, Jenn llamó a la policía de nuevo, esta vez alegando que habían estado en una discusión que se convirtió en un altercado físico antes de salir de la casa.

Se nos dice que tomaron un informe de violencia doméstica de Jenn y sintieron que tenían pruebas suficientes para detener a Dean de nuevo, esta vez por delito grave de violencia doméstica. También se emitió una orden de protección de emergencia para mantenerlo alejado de Jenn.

Sin embargo, Dean violó la orden una semana y media más tarde al intentar ponerse en contacto con Jenn. Se entregó por esa violación y posteriormente fue liberado. En medio de todo ese drama, ella solicitó el divorcio de Dean.

Ya había presentado documentos de divorcio en 2018, cuando afirmó que él era un borracho abusivo que la hizo temer por su vida y la de su hija, que entonces tenía 6 años.

Aunque, se reconciliaron esa vez, está claro que la relación sigue siendo más que rocosa. Nos pusimos en contacto con un representante de Dean, pero no hay respuesta hasta ahora.

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS' DEAN DELEO Busted for DUI ... After Altercation with Wife

UPDATE

9:18 AM PT -- The Ventura County D.A. tells us they're rejecting all domestic violence charges against Dean DeLeo. He's now only facing the DUI charge.

Dean DeLeo, guitarist for the rock band Stone Temple Pilots, is now accused of getting violent with his wife, Jenn DeLeo, during a dispute that ended with him in handcuffs, and getting booked for felony domestic violence.

Law enforcement sources tell us Jenn took swift action after she said Dean left the house intoxicated last month ... calling cops to let them know he was driving under the influence.

We're told officers soon found the musician, pulling him over and arresting him for DUI.

While he was in custody, Jenn called the cops again, and alleged they'd been in an argument that escalated to a physical altercation before he left the house.

We're told they took a domestic violence report from Jenn, and felt they had enough evidence to book Dean again ... this time for felony domestic violence. He was also served an emergency protection order to stay away from Jenn.

But, according to cops, Dean violated that a week and a half later by attempting to contact Jenn. He turned himself in over that violation, and was subsequently released -- but, in the midst of all that drama, she filed to divorce Dean.

She previously filed divorce docs in 2018, when she claimed he was an abusive drunk who made her fear for the lives of herself and their then 6-year-old daughter.

Although, they reconciled that time around ... it's clear the relationship's still beyond rocky. Dean tells TMZ  ...  "I look forward to having my voice heard at the appropriate time and place to address these allegations."

Hulk and Nick Hogan Working Bikini Contest Before Nick's DUI Arrest

112023-hulk-hogan-nick-hogan-kal
FATHER/SON FESTIVITIES
TMZ.com

Nick Hogan was working a bikini contest at his father Hulk Hogan's restaurant hours before being arrested for DUI in Florida.

TMZ obtained video from Friday's event at Hogan's Hangout in Clearwater ... and you see Nick working from the DJ booth, playing music and introducing some of the winners.

Hulk was one of the judges, and he was also hosting the bikini contest, which featured $5,000 in cash prizes to three winners ... with Nick serving as MC/DJ.

When the contest started, Hulk announced they were giving out free shots ... which is interesting because ... as we first told you, later that night Nick got busted on suspicion of driving under the influence.

Nick's yet to address his DUI bust ... which comes 16 years after a scary car wreck in Clearwater that left a passenger with severe brain damage ... but now we know what he was doing earlier in the night.

Meanwhile, the mother of the Marine who was injured in Nick's '07 incident -- John Graziano -- is ripping Nick ... Debra Graziano says this latest incident shows NH hasn't learned his lesson.

WAYNE BRADY ACCIDENTE DE CARRO Y PELEA CON OTRO CONDUCTOR

Doble golpe para Wayne Brady... estuvo involucrado en un accidente de carro en Malibú y luego terminó en una acalorada discusión que terminó en ataques físicos, y ahora, la policía está involucrada.

Las fuerzas del orden le informan a TMZ que Wayne estaba conduciendo por la autopista Pacific Coast en Malibú el domingo por la noche cuando otro carro lo golpeó.

Nos dicen que Wayne y el otro conductor, un hombre de 51 años de edad, se detuvo y las cosas se calentaron y desencadenaron una intensa discusión que terminó en un altercado físico.

La policía dice que Wayne llamó al 911 después de la pelea y el otro conductor volvió a su carro y se fue. Nos informan que los ayudantes del Sheriff finalmente encontraron al tipo y terminaron arrestándolo por agresión, DUI y atropello con fuga.

Wayne tiene una reputación de ser uno de los tipos más agradables de Hollywood, fuera de ese sketch hilarante "Chappelle Show", por lo que es bastante increíble que alguien supuestamente llegara a las manos con él.

Nos dicen que el departamento de bomberos respondió a la escena, pero Wayne estaba bien y no necesitaba ser llevado a un hospital.

Fuentes cercanas a Wayne le dicen a TMZ que estuvo golpeado y adolorido el día después del incidente y se lo tomará con calma por el momento.

Wayne Brady Car Accident Leads to Fight with Other Driver

Double whammy for Wayne Brady ... he got into a car accident in Malibu, and then ended up in a heated argument that turned physical, and now cops are involved.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... Wayne was driving down Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu Sunday night when another car hit him.

We're told Wayne and the other driver, a 51-year-old man, pulled over and things got heated ... in the form of an intense argument escalating into a physical altercation.

Cops say Wayne called 911 after the fight, and the other driver got back in his car and took off down PCH. We're told Sheriff deputies ultimately found the guy and ended up arresting him for battery, DUI and hit-and-run.

Wayne's got a rep for being one of the nicest guys in Hollywood -- outside of that hilarious "Chappelle Show" skit -- so it's pretty incredible someone allegedly got physical with him.

We're told the fire department responded to the scene, but Wayne was OK and didn't need to be taken to a hospital.

Sources close to Wayne tell TMZ ... he's banged up and sore the day after the incident, and will be taking it easy for the time being.

Nick Hogan Slammed by Family of '07 Crash Victim ... Over New DUI Arrest

Nick Hogan's fresh DUI arrest is opening some old wounds for the family of the man who was severely injured in the guy's 2007 crash -- and they think Nick hasn't learned his lesson.

TMZ talked to John Graziano's mother, Debra ... who says she isn't surprised over Nick's latest bust -- telling us he appears to have been as careless now as he was almost 20 years ago when he got into another car wreck as a teen -- which changed her son's life forever.

While it remains to be seen if Nick will be formally charged in this new case ... Debra says she believes his past incident with John -- who suffered severe brain damage in '07, riding passenger alongside Nick at the time -- should be factored into whatever happens here.

To Debra, the fact Nick got popped again all these years later shows a "total lack of respect for what (he) did to another person’s life and you’re still driving reckless."

She adds, "I can only pray that at some point in his life, while he still has the chance, that he turns his life around. Until then I hope no one else gets hurt." Debra goes on to say that the '07 accident and the saga that followed continues to take its toll on her/her loved ones.

Debra says, "I grieve the virtual loss of my son on a daily basis. I thank God daily that at least I have John here with us at home." She says while John has lost most of his ability to function normally, she's grateful he's alive and surrounded by people who care about him.

Nick hasn't publicly addressed the arrest yet ... he's also turned his social media pages to private. FWIW, nobody was harmed in this latest incident -- but it's still not great, obviously.
