Lindsay Lohan was arrested for assault in New York Thursday, and also charged over a car crash in California, in a double legal blow which could in theory land her back to jail.
The perennially troubled 26-year-old, who is struggling to get her life back on the rails and remains on probation for a 2011 jewelry theft, was arrested in the early hours after a fight at a New York nightclub, police said.
“She was charged with assault” and ordered to appear at a later date, a New York Police Department (NYPD) spokeswoman said, adding that the “Mean Girls” actress allegedly struck another woman.
Santa Monica police spokesman Richard Lewis said she was charged with willfully resisting, obstructing or delaying a police officer, giving false information and reckless driving.
Lohan allegedly told officers that she was not driving the car at the time of the crash, but a police statement said “information was developed that Lohan was the driver of the Porsche when the accident occurred.”
The Santa Monica charges carry potential jail terms of up to a year.
The latest charges could lead to jail time for Lohan for violating probation, after she pleaded no contest to stealing a necklace from a jewelry store near her home in Venice, west of Los Angeles, in January 2011.
