Lohan follows Hilton; Arrested for DUI this morning
It seems after Hilton fatigue, it's time for Lohan fatigue. Desperate to get into the headlines, Lindsay Lohan was arrested early this morning on suspicion of driving under the influence, driving on a suspended license, and possession of narcotics.
During a pre-booking search, police say they found cocaine in one of her pants pocket. She went to the Santa Monica police station and paid the $25,000 to $30,000 bail.
Lohan crashed her Mercedes back in May and is already facing a drunken driving charge in Beverly Hills. She recently finished a second stint in rehab for substance abuse treatment. She was due to be back in court on August 24 to face those charges.
I expect MSNBC anchor Mika Brzezinski to start burning an effigy of Lohan later today.
TMZ reported that her blood alcohol content (BAC) was between .12 and .13, well over the .08 legal limit. Lohan refused to take a Breathalyzer test at the scene, but failed the field sobriety test. She did take the Breathalyzer at the police station.
Forget about community service or another stint at the substance abuse clinic. This clearly requires jail time. Hilton got 45 days (though shortened) for the suspended license, Lohan had the same thing plus being drunk and having cocaine in her possession. It is unknown if she was still wearing her alcohol detection ankle bracelet. She may have taken it off or just ignored the alarm when she passed the threshold level.
I am thinking at least 2 years and under 5 years jail time. I also expect companies that have endorsement deals with her will scrap them in the next few weeks. No movie roles either. The latest one "Poor Things" looks to have been pulled from production.
The next time I am going to write about her is when she gets sent to prison.
