Just days after calling out fellow former child star Amanda Bynes for her legal woes, Lindsay Lohan
has been arrested ... again!
The 26-year-old "Liz and Dick" star's latest brush with the law took
place early Wednesday morning in New York City, a spokesperson for the
NYPD confirms to omg!. She was driving a 2010 Porsche Cayenne SUV down
an alley between the Maritime and Dream hotels in Midtown Manhattan when
she allegedly struck a pedestrian. Lindsay, who was accompanied by two
males, exited her car to speak with the 34-year-old male victim, then
she got back in the vehicle, parked, and went inside the Dream.
When Lindsay emerged from the club at 2:25 a.m., police placed her under
arrest, charging her with leaving the scene of an accident while
causing an injury. She was issued a desk appearance ticket for a future
unspecified date.
The police spokesperson noted that drugs and alcohol were not factors in
Lindsay's arrest. As for the person who was hit, he complained of a
knee injury and was taken to Bellevue Hospital. He was later released.
Lindsay's publicist, Steve Honig, declined to comment on the incident.
Just a few days ago – on Sunday night – Lindsay took to Twitter to weigh in on Amanda Bynes' saga.
"Why did I get put in jail and a nickelodeon star has had NO
punishment(s) so far?" Lindsay complained. It was an odd comment from
someone who has had a tremendous amount of legal trouble herself,
including two DUIs, probation violations, and a theft conviction. Bynes
has yet to be convicted of any crime.
Also earlier this week, Lindsay’s mother Dina’s interview with Dr. Phil McGraw
hit the airwaves. The 50-year-old mother of four’s behavior during the
chat was bizarre, especially when she gave Dr. Phil the finger. Also of
note, when McGraw asked Dina about Lindsay's long list of police
run-ins, Dina said that if Lindsay were living in New York, instead of
Los Angeles, “five of them would be obsolete.”
Considering that last night's incident took place in the Big Apple, geography seems to have nothing to do with it.
