LOS ANGELES — Lindsay Lohan is under investigation for an alleged misdemeanor battery against a female staffer at a rehab facility where the actress is receiving treatment, authorities said Tuesday.
Riverside County sheriff’s Deputy Herlinda Valenzuela said officers responded to a Betty Ford Center facility in Palm Desert shortly after 1 a.m. Dec. 12 for an incident involving Lohan. Valenzuela says a female staffer reported having a dispute with the “Mean Girls” star and that she wanted to pursue charges. No arrests were made, and Valenzuela says detectives continue to look into the case.
Messages for Lohan’s attorney were not immediately returned. A judge overseeing Lohan’s probation for a 3-year-old drunken-driving case has required Lohan to remain at the rehab center until Jan. 3. The Associated Press
