Lindsay Lohan Arrested - Again
There may be more jailtime for Lindsay Lohan if she keeps things up.

Fresh out of rehab and being formally booked on misdemeanor charges from a previous accident, Lohan was arrested - again.
Lohan, driving an SUV that doesn't belong to her, was chasing another SUV driven by the mother of her ex-personal assistant, according to police.
"Just prior to the chase – but I'm not sure exactly how much time prior – the personal assistant had quit," says police spokesman Officer Alex Padilla.
Two Breathalyzer tests determined that Lohan – who was wearing her alcohol-detection ankle bracelet at the time of her arrest – was above the legal blood-alcohol limit and she was arrested. During the search, police also found cocaine in one of her pants pockets.
Lohan was booked for DUI, possession of cocaine, transporting a narcotic into a custody facility and driving on a suspended license.
Lohan later posted $25,000 bail and was released from jail.
If formally charged and convicted of both DUI-related incidents, Lohan will face a minimum four-day jail sentence. However, her lawyer could argue for rehab or community service in lieu of incarceration.
Lindsay's father, who was recently released from a two-year stint in prison over a DUI, told TMZ that he's partly to blame for his daughter's constant problems with drugs, drinking and the law.
"I want to withdraw everything -- court wise -- sit down with Dina as Lindsay's parents and figure out how to help her," Michael Lohan said. "Lindsay can't do this on her own ... when we were together, none of this was happening."
Michael and Dina Lohan had been previously ordered by a court judge to see a family therapist as part of an ongoing custody war over their two children, Ali, 13 and Dakota, 11.
Dina Lohan, who recently landed her own TV show and refers to herself as "the White Oprah", was unavailable for comment.
