MINORITY REPORT: LINDSAY LOHAN

Lindsay Lohan was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence early Saturday morning after her Mercedes convertible struck a curb on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. Police reported that they also found a substance they believe to be cocaine at the scene, according to an Associated Press report.



Lohan, 20, and two other unidentified people were in the actresses' 2005 Mercedes SL-65 when it crashed at around 5:30 a.m. on Saturday. It appeared she had been speeding and when police responded to a 911 call about the accident, the AP reported that officers found a "usable amount" of a drug they tentatively identified at the scene as cocaine. They would not say where the drug was found other than to confirm that Lohan was not carrying it.

Lohan was driven from the scene in a different car to the hospital to be treated for minor injuries; the other two people were not hurt.

Lohan was arrested at the hospital for investigation of misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, then released when she was admitted for treatment.



Her tentative arraignment date is August 24.
