Actress Lindsay Lohan, who was recently released from an alcohol rehabilitation facility, was arrested in Santa Monica early today on suspicion of drunken driving and possession of cocaine, police said.
Lohan, already facing a drunken-driving charge in Beverly Hills, was stopped in the 1800 block of Main Street near the police station after officers said the mother of Lohan's assistant reported a car chase, Lt. Alex Padilla said. Lohan, 21, was allegedly chasing the assistant's mother, and the woman feared for her safety, Padilla said.
Lohan refused a sobriety test at the scene but was tested at the station, he said. The test found her blood alcohol between .12 and .13, he said. California's legal limit is .08.
The actress was booked on two misdemeanor charges of suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and driving on a suspended license and two felony charges of possession of cocaine and transport of a narcotic, police said.
"While in the jail, officers found a small amount of cocaine," Padilla said, adding that the drug was found in Lohan's pocket.
Lohan's lawyer, Blair Berk, said: "Addiction is a terrible and vicious disease. Since Lindsay's transition to outpatient care, she has been monitored on [an alcohol detection] bracelet and tested daily in order to support her sobriety. Throughout this period, I have received timely and accurate reports from the testing company. Unfortunately, late yesterday I was informed that Lindsay had relapsed. The bracelet has now been removed. She is safe, out of custody and presently receiving medical care."
Lohan was released at 6:20 a.m. after posting $25,000 bond, police said. The incident occurred about 1:35 a.m. when the assistant's mother, driving a black Cadillac Escalade sport utility vehicle, told police that she was being chased by a white Denali SUV.
There were two passengers in Lohan's SUV. There were three people in the Cadillac, police said.
The actress is to appear in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Aug. 24.
Lohan was scheduled to be on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" tonight.
Lohan turned herself in last week to Beverly Hills police to face a driving under the influence charge in connection with a Memorial Day weekend hit-and-run crash.
The actress and two other adults were in her 2005 Mercedes SL-65 convertible when she lost control and crashed into a curb and shrubs on Sunset Boulevard on May 26, police said.
Lohan got into a second car and was driven to a hospital in Century City for minor injuries, police said. The others in her car were not hurt.
This month, Lohan checked out of a rehabilitation center after more than six weeks of treatment. In January, she also checked into rehab for substance abuse treatment.
All I have in my head right now is the image of a coked-up Lohan chasing some poor woman in an Escalade and I must admit that it makes me chuckle.

Check every thread on this board. I have NEVER said she was good looking. Not even decent. I've always believed she is the most overhyped female celeb of all time.

Well I, like many others on this board, am a "face" guy. Lohan's facial features are fine, but she's worn so much makeup over the years that it has damaged her skin (plus we can really see how normal looking she really is). Plus, there are a lot of ugly and fat girls out there. Would you still do them?
