An arrest warrant is issued for the actress Lindsay Lohan this Friday
in connection with her 2007 DUI arrest, for which she is still on
probation. Lindsay Lohan's attorney says: "Since her case was
resolved, Ms. Lohan has been in compliance with all the terms and
conditions of her probation and all orders of the court," her
lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley said in a statement Saturday, referring
to Lohan's 2007 conviction for driving under the influence. "The
warrant issued on Friday was, in our view, born out of a
misunderstanding which I am confident I can clear up next week."
A hearing for Lohan is set for Monday morning in a Beverly Hills
court. "The judge apparently has indicated that Ms. Lohan should
be in attendance," said L.A. DA spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons. "We
are not actively looking for Ms. Lohan at this time," Beverly
Hills Police Lt. Mark Rosen said at a Saturday press conference. "We
are not anticipating her surrender this weekend. But if she comes in
contact with police, she's subject to arrest. As for why we're not
actively looking for her, that's not our procedure for this type of
warrant. Her attorney is hoping to resolve this issue in the coming
week. If it's not resolved, I'm sure we'll negotiate her voluntary
surrender." Specific details of why the arrest was issued are not known yet - but
some reports claim it is due to a probation violation (failing a drug
test or not attending alcohol education classes, etc, etc). Yet,
despite these multiple reports, Lohan herself is denying that the
police are after her! In an
exclusive statement to PerezHilton.com, Lindsay says, "This
warrant for my arrest is completely fabricated and it's a
horrendous lie. This will make me loose every single deal that I have
right now. It's horrible."
