Update
The same day that the actress was arrested in New York for allegedly punching a woman in a club, charges were filed against her in California in connection with a car accident.
Nearly six months after Lohan crashed her Porsche into the back of a dump truck in Santa Monica on the way to the set of the Elizabeth Taylor biopic Liz & Dick, she was charged with three misdemeanors by Santa Monica prosecutors.
The charges were obstructing or resisting a police officer, providing false information to a police officer, and reckless driving.
According to media reports, Lohan told officers that her assistant had been driving. But Santa Monica police said in a statement, “During the subsequent investigation, information was developed that Lohan was the driver of the Porsche when the accident occurred.”
The legal implications for Lohan are more serious because she was probation at the time of the June 8 crash.
When she appeared before Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner back in March to end her formal probation relating to two DUI arrests and a necklace theft case, she was warned that if she violates any laws before her informal probation expires in May 2014, she could get 245 days in jail.
Now, the New York arrest could also affect her probation case.
