Racing through the streets of Santa Monica, California late last night, completely oblivious to the beauty of the high rise of steel buildings around her and hell bent on harassing a single woman, Lindsey Lohan was arrested for posession of cocaine, driving under the influence, and driving with a suspended license.
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — The troubled saga of Lindsay Lohan took another turn Tuesday when police booked her on suspicion of drunken driving and cocaine possession after a frightened woman dialed 911 to report being chased by Lohan’s SUV.
Less than two weeks out of rehab, with another drunken-driving case pending, Lohan had a blood-alcohol level of between 0.12 and 0.13 percent when police found her about 1:30 a.m., Sgt. Shane Talbot said. The legal limit for driving in California is 0.08.
Lohan attorney Blair Berk said her client had relapsed and was again receiving medical care. Her appearance Tuesday on “The Tonight Show” was canceled.
“Addiction is a terrible and vicious disease,” Berk said.
Authorities received a 911 call from the mother of Lohan’s former personal assistant, said Lt. Alex Padilla. The assistant had just quit hours before, he said.
“The mother was afraid,” Padilla said. “She wasn’t quite sure what was going on so she called the police saying she wanted to make sure everything was going to be OK.”
The woman apparently didn’t realize it was Lohan who was behind her, Padilla said.
Police said the woman drove her black Cadillac Escalade into the parking lot of Santa Monica’s Civic Auditorium, about a block away from the Santa Monica Police Department, followed by Lohan driving a Yukon sport utility vehicle. Authorities arrived and saw Lohan and the woman in “heated debate,” Padilla said.
Can we just get these blonde, trouble making, bimbos off the streets please? I’m sure the residents of California would feel much better knowing Hilton, Lohan, Spears, and Richie were all safely off the streets and away from the rest of society.
Whenever I read this, the first thing that sprung to mind was ‘Paris Hilton’. I must admit we don’t seem to get much of it here in Britain, but I hear a lot about it in America.
That girl is a trainwreck! You’d think with the alcohol monitor on her ankle she’d have known better than to drink. Even more worrisome: police found cocaine in her pocket while booking her.
Seems like rehab is almost a status symbol for celebrities now-a-days.

I had the same thought
- but Lohan isn’t much better than Hilton ….
You’re right Bryan, if a celebrity is not in rehab, she probably was there before or will be in the future…
