Lindsay Lohan Was Arrested For A Hit And Run In NYC

Another day, another story of legal, drunken crazy drama involving either Lindsay Lohan or Amanda Bynes. This time it’s Lilo. It looks like they’re taking turns these days, doesn’t it?

Anyway, Lindsay Lohan was arrested in New York City this morning for a hit and run. The 26-year-old allegedly tapped her car into a pedestrian in a hotel’s alleyway, reports UsWeekly.

Lohan was driving her Porsche Cayenne near the Dream and Maritime Hotels with her manager and friend in tow sometime around 1 a.m. Wednesday morning and according to the police “while driving down the alley, she was trying to get people to step aside by flashing her lights.” The cops say everyone moved with the exception of one man, who claims the actress hit him. He complained about a knee injury as a result of the accident and was taken to the local hospital.

Apparently Lohan got out of the car and “possibly spoke to the victim” before getting back in her car and driving away to the Dream’s nightclub, which she hung out at until leaving around 2:30 in the morning. At this time she was arrested, then released without bail.

There are conflicting reports about whether alcohol and/or drugs were involved. Us says police say there was no alcohol involved while TMZ is reporting that the victim, Jose Rodriguez (a local chef) swears that Lohan was a drunken mess.

Also, supposedly hotel surveillance cameras show a scene that is closer to Lohan’s story. She says Rodriguez is making the whole thing up.

I never thought I’d say this, but I think Lohan might be sort of telling more truth than her ‘victim’ on this one. Sure, she most likely drank and she definitely shouldn’t have left the scene, but I think this guy probably didn’t get injured like he said he was.

Side story: Years ago, I was backing out of a parking spot in a shopping center, when all of a sudden I see a homeless guy jump behind my car and yell out “hey you just hit me”. It freaked me the eff out. It took me a few moments to realize that I was actually looking when I was backing out and that the dude totally ran up behind my car to try and set me up. When he began saying that he would ‘forget about it’ if I gave him money I knew it was b.s. and I called him on it. He walked away mumbling and I left. To think I almost fell for it. So yeah, I can’t imagine being a famous person. Not like Lilo’s an innocent though.
