Lindsay Lohan sued over DUI "car jacking"

Los Angeles, CA

Lindsay Lohan is facing a lawsuit from three men who claim she hijacked a car and held them hostage last July.

Ronnie Blake, Jakon Sutter and Dante Nigro accuse the star of commandeering the SUV they were passengers in, after a party in Malibu, Calif.

She then drove off in the car and was stopped by police on the Pacific Coast Highway after running a red light.

The officers arrested Lohan for driving under the influence. They also found cocaine on her possession. The incident resulted in a second DUI charge in just three months for the actress and led to an infamous 84-minute jail sentence.

Papers filed at Los Angeles County Superior Court this week allege Lohan was intoxicated and "hostile" and "endangered" the mens' lives during the "joyride." She allegedly told them, "She was a celebrity ... she could do whatever she wants."

But Lohan's lawyer Ed McPherson has dismissed the lawsuit, telling TMZ.com, "These guys had the night of their lives."

Lindsay Lohan sentenced to morgue for driving under the influence (DUI)

Los Angeles, CA

Lindsay Lohan is about to see dead people. The 21-year-old actress will soon be working at a morgue as part of her punishment for misdemeanor drunken driving, her attorney, Blair Berk, told a judge Thursday.

She has also spent two months in rehabilitation and has done some community service, Berk said at a hearing on her progress toward fulfilling the terms of her plea bargain.

Her two four-hour days at the morgue are part of a court-ordered program to show drivers the real-life consequences of drinking and driving. She must also spend two days working in a hospital emergency room.

Lohan was arrested twice last year on DUI charges and pleaded guilty in August to misdemeanor drunken driving and cocaine charges. She has already served 84 minutes in jail as part of the plea deal.

Lindsay Lohan sued by DUI chase passenger

Los Angeles, CA

The woman being chased by Lindsay Lohan before the star's notorious driving under the influence (DUI) arrest last July wants her day in court.

According to papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court in late December and obtained by the Associated Press, Tracie Rice was in a vehicle pursued by Lohan and driven by Michele Peck, the mother of Lohan's recently resigned assistant.

Rice is seeking damages amid claims that because of the pre-dawn incident she has had to shell out $7,000 in medical expenses, including those to a $175-per-visit therapist. She also says she lost her $60,000-per-year job. Rice says that $3,500 has been spent with the therapist in dealing with her residual terror from the DUI chase. She also saw a physician, a chiropractor and a pharmacist – and paid roughly $150 for prescriptions. An additional $2,000 was said to be paid in miscellaneous expenses.

Rice states she thought she was being carjacked when an SUV, driven by Lohan, pursued her and Peck at high speed, putting the two of them "at extreme risk of death or injury," until they made it to the Santa Monica police station and were greeted by officers with guns drawn. More >>
