Lindsay Lohan Ordered To Answer Questions About Drug Use

Lindsay Lohan has a little more explaining to do after a judge decided on Thursday she will have to answer questions for a civil suit related to a 2007 car chase that lead to her arrest. Lohan will have to sit for an additional two hours under oath to answer questions not addressed in a previous deposition, including whether she was using drugs the day of the incident. During the last deposition in May she invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and refused to answer. Lohan’s attorney Ed McPherson called the request “a bit of overkill” aimed at embarrassing her.

Per E!:

“In general, although I think that the questions they want to ask Lindsay are improper, we will participate in the deposition, as ordered by Judge Stone, and Lindsay will respond to their questions honestly,” attorney Ed McPherson told E! News. “Fortunately, the judge has limited the harassment to two hours.”

Lohan is being sued for assault, negligence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress by Tracie Rice, the mother of Lohan’s former assistant, who was driving the car Lohan was chasing the night of her first DUI arrest. (She is also facing legal action from three men who have accused her of kidnapping and endangering their lives when she allegedly jumped into a vehicle they were passengers in and took off on the wild ride through Malibu.) Lohan was arrested after the incident and charged with driving under the influence. Police also found cocaine in her pocket and tests came back to reportedly show two different types of cocaine in her system. A date for Lohan to testify has yet to be made, although the judge has agreed to wait until after her next probation hearing regarding alleged probation violations. She’s due back for that in court on July 6th and her civil case is expected to go to trial in late July.

So will it be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth or will Lohan come up with another one of her fantasical excuses? I think it will go something like this: “That wasn’t my urine test. I slipped and fell on a straw and sniffed the coke that was in my way” or “Maybe someone slipped it in my pants and it got in my system because of that.” I bet she’ll lie and say that the drug test was somehow manipulated by people who are out to get her.

Lindsay Lohan Headed To Jail

Things have gone from bad to worse for Lindsay Lohan, who reportedly has violated the terms of her probation and has to head back to court next month to face the judge and will most likely have to serve time in the slammer. Lindsay was placed on three years’ probation and ordered to complete an alcohol rehabilitation program after pleading guilty to cocaine use and driving under the influence in August 2007, but has not yet completed the alcohol education course the judge slapped on her. She should have attended the course once every 7 days, per judges orders, or gone into rehab but Lindsay has done neither which could see her behind bars.

Per TMZ:

Judge Marsha Revel made it clear to Lindsay late last year, she must attend alcohol ed courses once every 7 days. The only exception — if she was in inpatient rehab. And the judge was explicit … if Lindsay did not comply with the terms of probation, she was going to jail.

The school in which Lindsay enrolled is required by state law to inform the court only if the student is MIA for 21 days. So here’s the disconnect: The school has not reported an attendance violation … because Lindsay frequently waited until the 21st day to attend classes.

Bottom line — Lindsay met the school’s requirement, but squarely violated the judge’s order.

Judge Revel has made it clear to Lindsay — no more chances. If probation is violated, she’s going to jail … and probation was repeatedly violated.

Seriously – the girl can’t make one meeting a week? She has no work whatsoever! As a result, she is likely to face jail at a court progress hearing scheduled for May 20th on the grounds that she habitually violated the judge’s requirement. If the judge sticks to her word Lindsay is going to be in jail one way or another soon. Lohan’s lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, is denying she has a probation problem.

“We have received no negative written report from the program and contend Ms. Lohan is therefore in compliance.”

Guess that means no more nights out stumbling down and no more Twitter wars with ex Samantha Ronson. Maybe it would do Lindsay good to get a bit of perspective and some time away from the party scene. I say throw the book at her … and then throw away the key!
