Hollywood Buzz: Lindsay out on R25 000 bail

Lindsay out on R25 000 bail

Lindsay Lohan was released after posting a $25 000 bail on Tuesday, authorities said.

She was arrested in the Los Angeles area early on Tuesday on suspicion of drunken driving and cocaine possession, just days after she completed a 45-day rehabilitation programme, authorities said.

The 21-year-old star of Mean Girls - already facing a drunken-driving charge following a car crash in Beverly Hills two months ago - was pulled over in the coastal city of Santa Monica shortly after midnight.

Police said they had received a report of a car chase and that Lohan and two companions were in the pursuing vehicle. A police spokesperson said he believed the people in the two cars knew each other.

Lohan was taken into custody after failing a field sobriety test. Police said she registered a blood-alcohol level of about 0.12, well above the California limit of 0.08.

Lohan was booked on suspicion of drunken driving, possession of cocaine, bringing a controlled substance into custody and driving on a suspended license.
