LOS ANGELES — Lindsay Lohan was charged Thursday with crimes in New York and Los Angeles, marking her latest setbacks as she tries to revive her career and avoid a
return to jail.
Prosecutors in Santa Monica charged Lohan with three misdemeanours related to a June accident. Hours earlier, the actress was arrested and charged with third-degree assault, also a misdemeanour, after a woman was punched in a New
York City nightclub.
The California charges came about six months after Lohan's Porsche crashed into the back of a dump truck. She told police her assistant was driving, but detectives now believe the actress was behind the wheel as she headed to a movie set.
In that case, Lohan, 26, was charged with lying to police, reckless driving and obstructing a police officer from performing duties.
