Lindsay Lohan Begins 90-day Jail Sentence

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Lindsay Lohan recently received a 90-day jail sentence, after violating the probation she received for driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol in 2007.

Lohan was originally arrested in May 2007 for crashing her Mercedes Benz; this was the actress’s first offense.  She was arrested again in late July 2007 for driving recklessly while under the influence.

Lohan is currently fulfilling her sentence in the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California, where she is not allowed to access the Internet, she is prohibited from using a cell phone and she is not allowed to smoke.

After her release from jail, she will have to go through an alcohol rehabilitation program for three months, as the judge ordered.

If you or a loved one has been arrested for driving under the influence it is important that you contact a DUI lawyer. A DUI charge can have very serious consequences, even for a first-time offender. An experienced DUI attorney will fight to maintain your freedom and help get you on the road to recovery.

Actor Chris Klein’s DUI arrest

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Chris Klein, of American Pie fame, was arrested early Wednesday morning on suspicion of DUI (driving under the influence).  Police say Klein was pulled over on a freeway in Los Angeles at 3:13 AM and was arrested after failing a field sobriety test.

During the DUI Stop, Klein, 31, reportedly had a blood alcohol content (BAC) over .20, far exceeding the legal limit in California of .08. He was booked for driving under the influence of alcohol and released without bail.
This is the second arrest for the actor, who in early 2005 was arrested and charged with two misdemeanor counts of DUI with a blood alcohol level of .20. There are no comments from his lawyer.
