Lindsay Lohan was arrested for drunk driving in Santa Monica early Tuesday morning -- her second bust in less than three months. But DUI was just the tip of the iceberg.
According to the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept., 21-year-old Lohan was popped for possession of cocaine, transporting a narcotic into a custodial facility and driving on a suspended license. Cops told TMZ that a "small amount" of cocaine was found in her pants pocket.
ITEM: A law enforcement source connected with the Lohan bust tells TMZ Lindsay was "a real bitch in the field." The source says Lohan, who was stopped at the intersection of Pico and Main in Santa Monica, was "uncooperative and showed obvious signs of intoxication." We're also told that Lohan refused to submit to a PASD -- Preliminary Alcohol Screening Device, but when cops administered a walk-the-line test, Lindsay flunked. Back at the police station, Lohan underwent a blood alcohol test and scored between a .12 and .13, well over the .08 legal limit.
ITEM: Lohan was then booked, an unflattering mugshot taken, and bail was set at 25 grand. She posted bail and was released early this morning.
ITEM: We're told Lohan was chasing a Cadillac Escalade, driven by the mother of Lindsay's assistant, who had quit just hours earlier.
ITEM: Ironically, Lohan was voluntarily wearing a SCRAM alcohol monitoring device around her ankle, which is supposed to sound an alarm if she's drinking alcohol. But TMZ called a honcho at SCRAM, who didn't even know she was arrested!
ITEM: TMZ has learned that Lohan's arraignment is set for August 24 at 8:30 AM. And how's this for scheduling conflicts? -- Lohan is scheduled to appear in Beverly Hills Court the same day for her Memorial Day weekend DUI bust.
ITEM: Lindsay's attorney Blair Berk issued the following statement to TMZ: "Addiction is a terrible and vicious disease. Since Lindsay transitioned to outpatient care, she has been monitored on a SCRAM bracelet and tested daily in order to support her sobriety. Throughout this period, I have received timely and accurate reports from the testing companies. Unfortunately, late yesterday I was informed that Lindsay had relapsed. The bracelet has now been removed. She is safe, out of custody and presently receiving medical care."

Here's yet another example of a former child star who couldn't handle the pressures associated with fame.
I knew it. It is very sad that she relapsed back. I think she needs to cut off those people who are a negative influence in her life. Come on!
I think the SCRAM ankle is a SCAM.
another brilliant waste of humanity---i wish somebody (judge) would lock up these repeat (&repeat & repeat ad nauseum) offenders. Rehab is a joke---another touchy feely word for celeb country club.
Lohan is a loser. What a waste. How many chances does she need? She needs to do some time.
What's it going to take to get this girl to wise up to herself?
Poor girl...she's going to end up dead or locked up for a very long time. I still feel very sad for her, because she really honestly was one of my favorite child stars back in the day, and after seeing "The Parent Trap" in the theater, I distinctly remember telling my friends, "That kid is going to be one lovely young woman when she grows up, she's pretty attractive right now." I really wish i hadn't been so wrong.
Shame on American film stars in general...they really should take their examples from the Harry Potter film casts.
I THINK THIS LATEST ARREST AND POOR CONDUCT BY LINDSAY IS A SCREAM FOR HELP. HELP HER BY LOCKING HER ASS UP IN JAIL FOR A FEW MONTHS, NOT LIKE PARIS HILTON, BUT LIKE AN REGULAR PERSON WHO HAS BROKEN THE LAW, THAT MAY WAKE HER UP. PITIFUL, POOR, IGNORANT UNGRATEFUL SPOILED BRATS LIKE THIS NEED SOME TOUGH LOVE, BEFORE THEY HURT OR KILL AN INNOCENT PERSON WITH THEIR RECKLESS BEHAVIOR.
What a joke! She needs to sit her a** in jail just like every other non-wealthy person would be doing if they had been arrested as much as she has. Not only is it DUI but it is also narcotics! Who would be out walking the streets if they didn't have money???????
You do the crime, you do the time... Paris had to do it, what would make Lindsay any different???
It's time they locked Lindsay up for a very long time before she hurts or worst yet,,, kills an innocent person. Celebreties seem to get by with anything,,, including murder. Let's stop this one before she does murder an innocent person.
