Lindsay Lohan Arrested for 2nd DUI and Possession of Cocaine

Her blood alcohol level was .12 and .13. A small amount of cocaine was found in her pants pocket when she was taken to a custodial facility.

Lohan was released after posting $25,000 bail.

Initial reports suggest that she was stopped by law enforcement in a white Denali that was chasing a Cadillac Escalade.

Lohan was scheduled was scheduled to appear on the Tonight Show this evening, however, chances are slim that she will be spending any time with Jay Leno tonight.

A sophisticated alcohol monitoring device called a SCRAM was supposedly worn around her ankle although the company that monitors the SCRAM bracelet was not alerted by Lohan’s use of alcohol.

The maximum penalty for a 2nd DUI is 1 year in County Jail and fines up to $1,000.

The cocaine possession charge will probably be resolved with a drug diversion program pursuant to California PC1000 as the amount was a small usable amount.

August 24th is the date scheduled for Lohan to appear in Court on her first DUI.

Most likely the arraignment for this new matter will be scheduled some time in September.

Lindsay Lohan now needs an experienced DUI lawyer to insure that she does not receive the kind of harsh treatment meted out recently to Paris Hilton.

As new details emerge we will follow up with additional comments and insights.
