General Hospital Star Haley Pullos Faces 3 Months In Jail After No Contest Plea For DUI Crash
General Hospital (GH) star Haley Pullos (ex-Molly Lansing-Davis) has been sentenced to three months of jail time after pleading no contest to her recent DUI charges.
She was involved in a car crash after driving on the wrong side of the road on a freeway in Los Angeles in April 2023. The soap opera actress was both high and drunk at the time of the incident.
In addition to the jail sentence, the 25-year-old will also serve five years of probation, 200 hours of community service, and pay over $8,000 to the injured driver she hit, in restitution.

More On General Hospital Star Haley Pullos DUI Sentencing
Prosecutors told the court that the actress had a blood alcohol level of 0.25 percent, which is over three times the legal limit.
Pullos originally pleaded not guilty to the charges, which consisted of two DUIs, as well as a hit-and-run; however, thanks to a deal with the DA, she changed her plea to no contest on one DUI, and the District Attorney dropped the other DUI charge, as well as the hit-and-run.
When the Pasadena Court Judge, Terry Smerling asked if Pullos understood that pleading no contest carried the same weight as a pleading guilty, she replied, “Yes, your honor”. According to reports, she showed little emotion as the deputies handcuffed her hands and led her to the cells. Meanwhile, her mom, Judy Pullos, was seen sobbing.
