Lindsay Lohan was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence Saturday after her convertible struck a curb, and investigators found what they believe is cocaine at the scene, police said.
Ms. Lohan, 20, and two other people were in her 2005 Mercedes SL-65 when it crashed on Sunset Boulevard around 5:30 a.m., Sergeant Mike Foxen said. It appeared the actress was speeding, Lieutenant Mitch McCann said at an afternoon news conference.
Officers at the scene found a “usable amount†of a drug tentatively identified as cocaine, Lieutenant McCann said. He declined to say where the drug was found other than to say Ms. Lohan was not carrying it.
Ms. Lohan, who spent time at a rehabilitation center earlier this year, was driven in another car to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries, Lieutenant McCann said. The two other people in her car were not hurt.
Officers received a 911 call about the accident and arrested Ms. Lohan at the hospital for investigation of misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, Lieutenant McCann said.
She was released from custody because she was admitted to the hospital, police said.
Lieutenant McCann declined to comment on Ms. Lohan’s blood-alcohol level. He said the case will be presented to the District Attorney’s Office where the actress could face more charges, including felonies. Her tentative arraignment date is Aug. 24.
