Los Angeles – Lindsay Lohan is the latest star to tumble from Hollywood’s heights into the tumult of substance abuse. The actress, 21, was arrested Tuesday in Santa Monica and released on bond for investigation of misdemeanor driving under the influence and with a suspended license, and felony cocaine possession.
Police received a 911 call from the mother of Lohan’s former personal assistant, saying that Lohan was chasing her in a sport utility vehicle, officials said.
Lohan, who completed a more than six-week stint in rehab earlier this month and previously had checked into a recovery clinic in January, still faces DUI allegations connected to a Memorial Day weekend hit-and-run crash in Beverly Hills.
Her attorney, Blair Berk, said Lohan had relapsed and was again receiving medical care at an undisclosed location. Lohan’s publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnik, had no comment.
Lohan is still set to appear in the film “Dare to Love Me,” which is to begin shooting this summer, said Michael Sands, a consultant for production company Bowline Entertainment.
“The producers have compassion and kindness for her, so for now she’s insured and still with the movie,” he said. “She hasn’t been convicted of any crimes.”
Lohan’s latest film, “I Know Who Killed Me,” is set to open Friday.
