“I Am Innocent” Declares Lohan After Arrest

With two trips to rehab behind her and a litany of legal problems ahead, Lindsay Lohan joins a long list of young Hollywood talents who’ve faced high-profile battles with drugs and alcohol.

Lohan, 21, was arrested early Tuesday in Santa Monica and released on bail for investigation of misdemeanor driving under the influence with a suspended license and cocaine possession.

“I am innocent… did not do drugs they’re not mine. I was almost hit by my assistant Tarin’s mom I appreciate everyone giving me my privacy,” Lohan wrote in an e-mail to an entertainment magazine in Hollywood later that same day. 

Police found cocaine in one of the actress’ pockets during a pre-booking search, Sgt. Shane Talbot said. Police initially said Lohan was also being booked for investigation of transporting a narcotic but later said she wasn’t. Police received a 911 call from the mother of Lohan’s former personal assistant, saying that Lohan was chasing her in an SUV, said Lt. Alex Padilla. The assistant had reportedly quit hours before.

Authorities found Lohan and the woman in a “heated debate” in the parking lot of Santa Monica’s Civic Auditorium at about 1:30am. Her arrest comes as she still faces DUI allegations connected to a Memorial Day weekend hit-and-run crash in Beverly Hills.
