Pete Davidson crashed his car into a Beverly Hills home back in March. Now, the comedian is being charged with reckless driving. Per Entertainment Weekly, Davidson, 29, faces one misdemeanor count of reckless driving, with an arraignment set for July 27.

In a statement provided to the publication over the weekend, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said: “We believe that Mr. Davidson engaged in reckless driving, which ultimately resulted in his involvement in a serious collision into a home. Luckily, no one was seriously injured as a result of this collision. 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.”

Davidson was behind the wheel of a car and driving at high speed when he lost control. His girlfriend, Chase Sui Wonders, was in the passenger seat. There were no reported injuries. But Pete’s Mercedes went over a curb, hit a fire hydrant, and ran into the side of a house at 11 p.m. He wasn’t arrested at the time, and no drugs or alcohol were determined to be involved in the crash. The homeowners also didn’t press any charges. Their 16-year-old daughter was home at the time reading, and her father later told the gossip website TMZ that she was “a bit traumatized” from the incident.

Davidson and Sui Wonders haven’t publicly commented on the accident but were seen vacationing in Hawaii on the same day of the accident. The pair have reportedly been dating since around December of last year, following Davidson’s high-profile break-up with Kim Kardashian. They first met while playing an onscreen couple in Bodies Bodies Bodies, as well as in Bupkis, a fictionalized version of Davidson’s life in which Sui Wonders plays his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Nikki.

Pete Davidson: Here Are The Famous Women Who He Has Dated

Pete Davidson, AKA the man who dates the hottest women in Hollywood, has baffled and awed the public with who he has managed to become intimate with. The Staten Island comedian and former Saturday Night Live cast member has gotten really far in his dating life by being a funny guy with “BDE” (we’ll thank Ariana Grande for that one, and Kim Kardashian for confirming). He’s been with older women, younger women, and women his age; he’s been with actresses, singers, models and comedians — his love knows no bounds.

The hopeless romantic opened up back in 2020 about his desire for love and hope to one day be a dad. Per People, Davidson said, “I love love. That’s how I grew up. Just my mom, my sister — I didn’t have a man around the house, so I was just like, ‘When am I going to find my Princess Charming?’ That’s all I’ve ever wanted.” He added, “I just want to have a kid, that’s it. I think that would be awesome.” The comedian even considered adopting with his mother, jokingly adding, “I think everybody is afraid of the Davidson seed.”

He went on to reveal, “I cry a lot. I get into deep conversations. I care about your s—. I like to meet your family. I like to know who you are. And some families are like, ‘Who the f— are you?’ So I’m a lot for certain people. It was just how I was raised.”

If you’re single in Hollywood, you better watch out, because you might be next in line to date Pete Davidson. Take a walk down memory lane of Pete’s exes, to which most have only said positive things about the actor:
