Lindsay Lohan, the Hollywood actress, has been arrested in Los Angeles on suspicion of drink-driving and cocaine possession shortly after finishing an alcohol rehabilitation programme.The 21-year-old star of Mean Girls is already facing a drink-driving charge following a car crash in Beverly Hills two months ago.
Police said they received a report of a car chase and that Lohan and two companions were in the pursuing vehicle.
A police spokesman said he believed the people in the two cars knew each other. Lohan was taken into custody after failing a sobriety test.
Lohan was held on suspicion of drink-driving, possession of cocaine, bringing a controlled substance into custody and driving on a suspended license. She was released after posting a $25,000 (£12,100) bond.
Just last Friday, Lohan turned herself in to Beverly Hills police to face charges in connection with a car crash on May 26.
In that case, she lost control of her Mercedes sports car and drove into a hedge. She then left the scene.
Police said at the time they also found a small amount of what they believed to be cocaine in the car.
The incident followed months of hard partying by the actress, who had been a regular at Hollywood nightspots.
She has also been attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for a year despite having turned 21 - the legal age for drinking in the United States - only this month.
Immediately after the crash in May, Lohan checked herself into a Malibu rehabilitation centre for the second time in a year.
She left earlier this month and now wears an alcohol monitoring bracelet on a voluntary basis, according to her spokeswoman.
