Fifty thousand dollar arrest warrant out for Lindsay Lohan

Yesterday a $50,000 arrest warrant was issued for Lindsay Lohan. The warrant stems from her May 2007 DUI arrest that culminated in a trip to rehab for the celebrity.

“In response to media inquiries, [the] Beverly Hills Police Department is confirming a warrant was in fact issued for the arrest of Lindsay Lohan,” said department spokesman Lt. Mark Rosen.

“The $50,000 warrant issued by the Beverly Hills Superior Court stems from a May 2007 arrest of Miss Lohan for DUI and hit-and-run. The circumstances leading to the issuance of the warrant by the court are not readily available at this time. It is our hope that Miss Lohan will surrender herself so that this matter will be resolved in a timely manner.”

In May 2007, Lindsay was busted for driving under the influence after losing control of her car and running up a curb. Police found cocaine in her car and lab tests showed the drug in her system. After a stint in a treatment center, she was arrested for drunken driving on July 24, 2007.

After pleading guilty in August 2007, Lohan was sentenced to one day in jail and placed on probation for three years.

Richie Sambora might be charged with child endangerment

You might have heard that Richie Sambora was arrested on a DUI charge on March 25th? He’d quit drinking for some time but had apparently taken a few drinks that afternoon.

Well, police have now recommended that prosecutors charge him with child endangerment as he was driving with his daughter at the time of his arrest.

He hasn’t been formerly charged as of yet, but if he is charged a jail sentence is likely. He might be able to plea to a lesser offense such as going to rehab instead of jail.

Over the weekend Sambora was spotted in Las Vegas at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. He was only seen drinking water.

A tentative arraignment date is set for May 7th.
