BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Lindsay Lohan was arrested on suspicion of
driving under the influence Saturday after her convertible struck a curb,
and investigators found what they believe is cocaine at the scene, police
said.
Lohan, 20, and two other people were in her 2005 Mercedes SL-65 when it
crashed on Sunset Boulevard around 5:30 a.m., Sgt. Mike Foxen said. It
appeared the actress was speeding, Lt. Mitch McCann said at an afternoon
news conference.
Officers at the scene found a "usable amount" of a drug tentatively
identified as cocaine, McCann said. He declined to say where the drug was
found other than to say Lohan was not carrying it.
Lohan, who spent time at a rehabilitation center earlier this year, was
driven in another car to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries,
McCann said. The two other people in her car were not hurt.
Officers received a 911 call about the accident and arrested Lohan at the
hospital for investigation of misdemeanor driving under the influence of
alcohol or drugs, McCann said.
She was released from custody because she was admitted to the hospital,
police said.
McCann declined to comment on Lohan's blood-alcohol level. He said the
case will be presented to the District Attorney's Office where the
actress could face more charges, including felonies. Her tentative
arraignment date is Aug. 24.
The crash was Lohan's third accident in about two years. In October 2005,
Lohan and a passenger received minor injuries when her convertible hit a
van in West Hollywood. Authorities said the van driver, who also received
minor injuries, was at fault.
Months earlier, Lohan collided with a minivan when she made a U-turn as
the van, carrying paparazzi, followed her from a Los Angeles restaurant.
A photographer was arrested for investigation of assault with a deadly
weapon but prosecutors declined to charge him.
That crash was credited with prompting Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to sign
a law that set steep financial penalties for paparazzi who commit
assaults while trying to obtain celebrity photos.
Lohan publicist Leslie Sloane Zelnik did not immediately return an e-mail
requesting comment.
Lohan said in January that she had checked into a rehabilitation center
for substance abuse treatment. Her publicist confirmed in December that
the actress was attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
Lohan told Allure magazine during an interview for its May issue that she
decided to enter the secluded Wonderland Center at the suggestion of her
therapist.
"It's so weird that I went to rehab. I always said I would die before I
went to rehab," Lohan told the publication.
Lohan's latest movie, "Georgia Rule," is in theaters now. The actress'
other screen credits include "Mean Girls," "Bobby," "A Prairie Home
Companion" and "Freaky Friday."
