Lindsay Lohan not on drugs, is a 'victim,' her attorney says - Los Angeles Times

Lindsay Lohan, who faces charges in New York and Santa Monica, is a "victim" and was not on drugs at the time of her latest arrest, her attorney said.

Lohan was charged Thursday with three misdemeanors for allegedly lying to Santa Monica police in connection with a June traffic accident on Pacific Coast Highway.

The charges came hours after the "Mean Girls" and "The Parent Trap" actress was arrested in New York on suspicion of third-degree assault, a misdemeanor, after she allegedly punched a woman in the face at Club Avenue in Manhattan's fashionable meatpacking district.

Her attorney in that case denied the actress did anything wrong.

"Once again, Lindsay Lohan is a victim of someone trying to capture their 15 minutes of fame," New York attorney Mark Heller said in a statement obtained by the Associated Press. "From my initial investigation, I am completely confident that this case will be concluded favorably and that Lindsay will be totally exonerated."

Separately, Heller told E! Entertainment: "She was certainly not intoxicated, certainly not under the influence of drugs. She was clear [and] lucid, her eyes were clear. No alcohol involvement whatsoever on this occasion."
