Lindsay Lohan is proclaiming her innocence after being arrested yesterday for an investigation of driving under the influence and felony cocaine possession. "I am innocent, I did not do drugs, they‘re not mine. I was almost hit by my assistant Tarin‘s mom so I appreciate everyone giving me my privacy," Lohan wrote in an e-mail to "Access Hollywood" host Billy Bush, the show reported on its Web site Tuesday night.
Police found cocaine in one of the actress‘ pockets during a pre-booking search, Sgt. Shane Talbot said. Police initially said Lohan was also being booked for investigation of transporting a narcotic but later said she was not.
Authorities found Lohan and the woman in a "heated debate" in the parking lot of Santa Monica‘s Civic Auditorium at about 1:30 a.m.
Lohan had worn an alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet since her July 13 release from rehab and was tested daily to support her sobriety, her attorney Blair Berk said. She said Lohan had relapsed and was receiving medical care at an undisclosed location. Her publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnik, had no comment.
