The Slammer Awaits

This doesn't look good for Lindsay Lohan at all. After leaving rehab no less:
Lindsay Lohan, who just finished a second stint in rehab for substance abuse treatment, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving early Tuesday, authorities said.

via Breitbart.comLohan, who is already facing a drunken driving charge in Beverly Hills, was pulled over near the Santa Monica Police Department after authorities spotted her car chasing another vehicle, said Sgt. Shane Talbot.

Authorities conducted a field sobriety test and then transported Lohan to the police department.

The 21-year-old actress was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, driving on a suspended license and possession of cocaine, among other charges, Talbot said.

Police found cocaine in one of her pants pockets during a pre-booking search, Talbot said.
Not only do you have the repeat offense for the DUI to consider, but the possession of cocaine. I guess rehab didn't exactly help.

Lohan is quite talented as an actress, but her personal life is a complete mess, and she's working hard to live hard and die young at the rate she's going. Someone really needs to step in and get her clean and sober, and I doubt that her parents are up to the task either. She needs to take responsibility for her own actions, and her refusal to recognize her problems is only making this worse.

UPDATE:
Leave it to The Smoking Gun to provide the mug shots. Not as bad as it could have been. It's not in Nick Nolte territory, but isn't in the Tom DeLay category either.
