Total DUI

21-year-old actress, Lindsay Lohan was arrested for her second DUI in three months. In May, she was arrested for a hit-and-run DUI. Now, she’s been arrested, not only on suspicion of DUI, but suspicion of cocaine possession.

According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Lohan sent an e-mail to “Access Hollywood” host Billy Bush saying “I am innocent. . . . did not do drugs they’re not mine.”

Police answered a 911 call from the mother of Lohan’s personal assistant who claimed Lohan was chasing her in an SUV after the assistant had quit. Police found Lohan in a heated argument with the woman. She was given a Breathalyzer which registered a blood alcohol level between 0.12 and 0.13 percent, well over the legal limit for DUI. During a pre-booking search police say they found cocaine in her pocket.

Following her May arrest, Lohan immediately checked herself into rehab. She has again checked herself into rehab. Rehab is a standard tactic for those arrested for DUI, who can afford it. A defendant who has started rehab can demonstrate to a judge that she is already straightening out and should be given a lighter sentence.

However, most of us cannot afford rehab and certainly cannot take time off from work. So, people like Lindsay have an advantage when they go to court.

I have no idea why Lindsay Lohan sent that email to Billy Bush. I'm afraid that was a mistake, almost as if she admitted more than she denied when writing it.

As for her stints in rehab, I would think that it's fairly obvious to everyone by now that she takes it as a joke. This is her third trip to rehab I believe. Do they refund her money when she's just as bad, or worse, when she gets out?

I honestly don't know if any judge will look at her rehab attempts and believe she has seriously been trying to get her act together. However, somehow I do hope she is serious this time and does get help. Perhaps this latest arrest was truly a wakeup call.
