Lindsay Lohan Arrested For Striking Pedestrian: Police Say Lohan Was Sober

Lindsay Lohan arrested again? It looks as though Lindsay Lohan tempted fate when she lashed out at Amanda Bynes the other day. Though she's deleted it now, on September 16, 2012, the Lindsay Lohan Twitter page contained a message from the former Disney star questioning why she had been jailed for her past misdemeanors, whilst Bynes had seemingly managed to escape punishment, thus far. Then, in a move that seems to have been conjured up by an expert scriptwriter, Lohan was arrested for allegedly striking a pedestrian with her jet black Porsche, outside a New York club.

According to a report from the New York Daily News, Jose Rodriguez, the Manhattan chef, whom she is alleged to have struck, claims that Lindsay was "slurring" and "smelled of alcohol". He also said that Lohan and her friends "acted like I was nothing. that no one could touch her because she was rich and powerful." However, the police who dealt with the case have charged her with leaving the scene of an accident but have added that there's no indication that Lohan was under the influence of alcohol. In fact, they were so convinced that she was sober, they didn't even breathalyze her.

Lindsay's spokesperson has downplayed the incident, saying that it's "much ado about nothing" and expects the drama to blow over. A source at the police department also claimed that video evidence shows that Lindsay did the honorable thing of blinking her lights at the pedestrians but Rodriguez walked out in front of her.
