Pete Davidson must complete 50 hours of community service after crashing his car into his Beverly Hills home in March.
Authorities charged Davidson with one count of reckless driving on June 16.
“We believe Mr. Davidson drove recklessly, causing him to crash into a home. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured as a result of the collision,” the DA’s office said in an emailed statement at the time.

The “Saturday Night Live” alum pleaded not guilty on July 19 and was granted a judicial diversion, Fox News Digital can confirm. The 18-month diversion program includes 50 hours of community service and 12 hours of traffic school, both of which can be completed in New York.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office noted that Davidson’s attorney had indicated that the comedian would likely complete community service with the New York Fire Department — where his late father worked before he was killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
“As the son of a 9/11 hero, we are pleased to provide Mr. Davidson with the opportunity to perform his desired community service,” the New York Fire Department told People magazine in a statement.
Representatives for Davidson did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
The car crash happened around 11 p.m. on March 4 near the intersection of Rodeo Drive and Elevado Avenue. Fox News Digital confirmed that the comedian was traveling with a female passenger at the time of the crash. It was speculated about Davidson’s rumored girlfriend, Chase Sue-Wonders.
“Preliminary investigators believe speed may have been a factor,” Lt. Reginald Evans told Fox News Digital at the time. No arrests were made and Davidson was not charged for months.

Lt. Moreno added, “No one was injured. No one in the house and no one in the car.”
Authorities claimed that no drugs or alcohol were involved in the car crash.
“We know that reckless driving can have devastating consequences,” the DA said in a statement after Davidson was indicted in June. “In 2022, traffic fatalities in Los Angeles will reach the highest level seen in 20 years. This is an alarming trend that we cannot ignore. As a result, it is critical that we take all allegations of reckless driving seriously and hold those responsible accountable.”
