Beverly Hills Judge Issues Warrant For Lindsay Lohan
The cbsnews website reported in an article on March 14, 2009 that a judge in Beverly Hills has issued an arrest warrant for Lindsay Lohan, 22. It is unclear though why the warrant was issued. It is possible that it is connected to an incident in 2007 when Lohan was driving under the influence and crashed her Mercedes-Benz into a tree. Mike Foxen, Sgt. said that the warrant carries a bail of $50,000.
Foxen said, ‘We believe it has to do with her arrest for DUI.” He added that there were no other details disclosed to him.
Lohan’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, said that Lohan has fulfilled all terms of her probation and all court instructions.
Holley said, “The warrant issued on Friday was, in our view, born out of a misunderstanding which I am confident I can clear up next week."
Sandi Gibbons, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office stated that they were not formally advised that a warrant would be issued.
Lohan is the star of the movie “Mean Girls” released in 2004. Following her drunk driving crime in 2007 for crashing her car, she was arrested again in July for chasing her former personal assistant in an SUV in Santa Monica. Tied with these two cases, Lohan later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor counts of being under the influence of cocaine.
After spending 84 minutes in jail, Lohan was released and ordered to do community service in addition to undergoing drug rehabilitation treatment. She was also placed on probation, and any violations can land her in jail for up to a year.
During this period Lohan released the following statement, “It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs."
