leaving the scene of an accident after she purportedly swiped a
bystander with her car while pulling into a New York City hot spot.
According to an NYPD spokesman, shortly before 1 a.m. the 26-year-old
star and two pals arrived at the posh Dream Hotel in downtown
Manhattan in a black Porsche SUV, which she was supposedly driving.
As she pulled into the hotel, Lohan allegedly clipped a man in his 30s
who was standing nearby and who police say was not a member of the
actress' party. She then reportedly entered the hotel.
The man supposedly suffered an injury to his leg and was taken to a
nearby hospital.
The NYPD says it then received a 911 call alerting them to the
incident, and officers were dispatched to the hotel, where they waited
outside for the actress.
Lohan exited at 2:25 a.m. and was subsequently arrested on suspicion
of leaving the scene of an accident.
The Liz & Dick star, who was dressed in black pants, reportedly did
not resist arrest and was cooperative as she was handcuffed and taken
in a police cruiser to a precinct in midtown Manhattan.
Alcohol is not believed to have been a factor in the incident, and the
actress was not administered a sobriety test.
Lohan was released shortly after 4:30 a.m. and issued a desk appearance ticket.
LiLo's latest police run-in comes just weeks after she was cleared of
any involvement in a jewelry heist that happened during an overnight
stay at a friend's Hollywood Hills home.
