The other day, I wrote in my blog that maybe Lindsay Lohan was turning over a new leaf. She voluntarily stayed longer in rehab than she had to, she was seen drinking only Red Bull and water at her 21st birthday celebration, she had surrendered herself to authorities to face drunken driving charges from May, and I read that she even was voluntarily wearing the ankle bracelet that would test her sweat for alcohol. It all sounds good, doesn’t it?
Yeah, until today’s new that she was arrested again. Just five days after surrendering herself to the May drunk driving charges, she was again charged with…well, more charges. Tuesday morning, the police received a call that two vehicles were chasing each other in a Santa Monica parking lot. Lindsay was behind the wheel of one of the vehicles, driving her Denali sport utility. The San Jose Mercury is reporting that other vehicle contained the mother of one of Lohan’s former personal assistants and it was her that made the 911 call.
The officers, smelling alcohol, gave Lohan a sobriety test, which she failed. My thought was “why didn’t her ankle bracelet go off?” but I never saw that addressed in news reports, other than her attorney saying the bracelet has since been removed.
The legal limit for alcohol is .008 and Lindsay registered .13. The officers also found a white powdery substance in her possession. That is right – cocaine. Lindsay was released on a $25,000 bail after being charged with two counts of driving under the influence, one count of possession, one count of bringing a controlled substance into the jail, and driving with a suspended license.
Lindsay’s new movie “I Know Who Killed Me” comes out this Friday and I’ve been seeing commercials all week. You know, I am afraid if she doesn’t stop drinking and taking drugs, the title of her life may become “I Know Alcohol and Cocaine Killed Me.”
