Lindsay Lohan’s mother blows twice the legal limit, is busted for speeding too

Trouble runs in the Lohan family. Shortly after Lindsay Lohan completed a 90-day court-mandated rehab program, her mother has run into some problems with the law, after being arrested for drunk driving in Long Island, New York.

Attached to this article is her booking photo.

TMZ reports that, at the time of the arrest, Lindsay’s mother had a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit and was somewhat uncooperative.

Celebrity gossip lovers probably remember how bitterly Dina Lohan defended herself last year from accusations of being a raging drunk after that disastrous Dr. Phil interview.

At the time, she said she wasn’t in the habit of drinking because she was always responsible.

This is one time she wasn’t.

“Lindsay Lohan's 50-year-old mother was pulled over on the Northern State Parkway by New York State Police around 11 pm Thursday night, after she was allegedly going 77mph in a 55 in her white BMW,” TMZ reports, adding that her blood alcohol level registered at .20.

For comparison, the legal limit is of 0.8.

“According to officials, ‘Lohan made an allegation that she was injured during the course of the arrest’ but when medical personnel responded to the scene and determined she was fine, Dina ‘recanted her claim’,” the same media outlet writes.

Ms. Lohan was taken to the police station, where she was booked on 2 counts of DUI and 1 count of speeding. She was released shortly afterwards, when a “3rd sober party” came to pick her up.

Lindsay reportedly found out about her mother’s arrest in the news. A short while later, the actress was photographed arriving at her mother’s house.

So far, neither Lindsay nor Dina has commented in any way on the situation but, knowing the both of them, they will probably be giving extensive interviews in a matter of days, if not actually sooner.

Rest assured you’ll find out about it here when that happens.
