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.

Former Lost start sentenced in DUI

On Wednesday Michelle Rodriguez was sentenced to six months in jail for violating her probation in a DUI case.

She failed to provide proof of completion of her community service. Not only that. She consumed alcohol three times while wearing an alcohol-monitoring device!

Rodriquez now has to report to Los Angeles County jail by December 24th. What a day to go to jail!

The judge – Daviann L. Mitchell, also added to the ruling that she’s not to be granted early release. She also must complete 30 days of road clean up duty.

This girls got a history of DUI arrests!

In May 2006 Rodriguez served only 4 hours and 20 minutes of a two month sentence at the Lynwood California jail. This was after she’d violated probation in her December 2005 DUI arrest in Hawaii.

In June 2004, Rodriguez had been placed on three years’ probation after pleading no contest to DUI and driving with a suspended license from two separate incidents in the Hollywood area in 2003.

Kiefer arrested for DUI

What is with Stars and DUI’s these days?

Kiefer Sutherland is the latest celebrity to have been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. He was arrested early Tuesday morning in Hollywood.

Kiefer was pulled over at about 1 a.m. after he made an illegal U-turn. He failed the subsequent field sobriety test.

He was booked at the LAPD Hollywood station and was released at 5:42 a.m. on $25,000 bail.

A court date of Oct. 16 was set.

A rep for Sutherland said Tuesday: “It would be premature to comment at this time.”

Kiefer was convicted of a DUI in 2004 and because of that conviction he now faces a mandatory minimum sentence of four days in jail if he’s convicted for this latest arrest.

Sutherland is also currently serving a five-year probation term for the prior DUI. If a judge deems the actor violated those terms, “Sutherland could get up to 60 days in jail or worse, depending on varying circumstances,” according to DUI lawyer Lawrence Taylor.

Previous arrests have come to light:

In 1989, he was arrested for DUI and carrying a concealed and loaded weapon. In a deal with prosecutors, he pleaded no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving, and the other charges were dropped.

In 1993, he was arrested for DUI, and again, pleaded out the same way. He was given the option of serving 12 days in jail or performing 211 hours of community service, and opted for the latter.

Lindsey blames a kid for driving on night of her arrest?

by Tricia

I was just visiting TMZ and they have a story about Lindsay Lohan and her recent arrest for DUI.

The story interviews three guys that were with her throughout the day, one who’s foot got run over when he jumped out of the car as she accelerated to chase her now former assistant, and one who was in the car with her during the chase. When the police finally showed up where the cars finally stopped Lindsay failed her sobriety test miserably! It also sounded like she said “I wasn’t driving, the black kid was“. Oh Lindsey that’s not nice. Don’t blame others for your troubles. Celebrities do get into trouble you know.

Go read the story, there’s lots of video of the interviews there so there’s no point in me rehashing the whole story here.
