TMZ is reporting that Haley Pullos, who plays Molly on General Hospital, has been arrested for a DUI. The site reported the actress, who was recently temporarily recast on the soap after recovering from this car accident, allegedly caused a big crash on the freeway.

According to a document obtained by TMZ, Pullos was driving down a freeway in Pasadena, California, on April 29 when she swerved and crossed over the barrier dividing the road. She went into oncoming traffic and collided with another vehicle that was traveling at around 60 miles per hour. The other car's driver had major injuries but survived.

When the police arrived on the scene, they stated that Pullos could not get out of her car. Firefighters assisted her in exiting the vehicle and entering an ambulance. They were evaluating her injuries when Pullos struck the firefighter with her hand and called out:

Upon searching her vehicle, police said they found marijuana edibles and miniature tequila bottles. Pullos was brought to the hospital and exhibited signs she'd been driving under the influence. The cops in question said her breath smelled of alcohol, her speech was slurred, and her eyes were watery. Arrested for felony DUI at the hospital, Pullos reportedly got aggressive and fought with the staff, then she had to be sedated.

Police also told TMZ that Pullos was involved in a separate hit-and-run collision before this crash. A rep for the actress didn't immediately respond to the site when asked for comment.

What Happened To Molly On General Hospital? - The Real Life Reason She Was Recast

BY SAM SKOPP/JUNE 21, 2023 1:30 PM EST

As of the May 25 episode of "General Hospital," Holiday Mia Kriegel took over the role of Molly Lansing-Davis from longtime actor Haley Pullos. Just prior to Kriegel's debut, Pullos claimed that she was temporarily sidelined over injuries resulting from a car crash, but details that TMZ published a week later indicate that her exit was the result of an altogether thornier situation.

As it turns out, a report by cops who responded to the incident found Pullos at fault for the accident she referenced when she first announced her departure. This report credits Pullos with jumping a barricade dividing the two sides of a Los Angeles County freeway before colliding with another vehicle. After accompanying her to a hospital, cops found mini tequila bottles in her car and determined that she had been driving under the influence. As a result, she was arrested during her hospital stay.

Cops also told TMZ that Pullos was responsible for a prior hit-and-run crash, and that while at the hospital, she was so aggressive with staff members that they decided to sedate her. In short, then, while recovering from the accident is doubtlessly a contributing factor to Pullos' departure from the role of Molly on "General Hospital," this incident appears to have necessitated her exit for more reasons than just her resultant injuries.

Haley Pullos is still absent for the time being

On June 6, a few weeks after breaking the initial story about her accident, TMZ published a follow-up article revealing that the driver of the car into which Haley Pullos crashed — who survived after sustaining serious injuries — sued the "General Hospital" actor for the costs of his hospital stay and totaled vehicle. The situation keeping Pullos away from "General Hospital," then, doesn't appear to be over, and may not be until this lawsuit is resolved.

Of course, recasting characters is nothing new for the series. Whereas following some of the deaths of certain "General Hospital" actors the show has simply retired their characters, other mainstays have gone through even more than just two different portrayals. For instance, "General Hospital" recast Nicholas Alexander Chavez as Spencer Cassadine in 2021, making him the ninth actor overall to play the character.

For the time being, Holiday Mia Kriegel's presence still seems to be considered temporary, but it's always possible that further developments in the car crash case could sideline Pullos for longer than initially planned.

Former "General Hospital" actress Haley Pullos was sentenced today to five years probation, 200 hours of community service and a nine-month alcohol program in connection with a wrong-way DUI crash last year on the Ventura (134) Freeway in Pasadena that left her and another driver injured.

She was also ordered to complete a mental health treatment program, to pay $8,260 in restitution to the victim and not to drive a motor vehicle for a year.

Pullos, now 26, served three months behind bars following her plea to a felony DUI charge stemming from the April 29, 2023, collision. She is expected to be released from custody on Monday.
