Fresh out of rehab, Lindsay Lohan was accused of driving under the influence early Saturday morning, and police found what they believe to be cocaine in her car.

Witnesses said at 5:30 a.m., Lohan, 20, was driving down Hollywood’s Sunset Bouelvard in her Mercedes convertible. She jumped a curb and flew into a set of trees. Right after the accident, she ran into a nearby house.

“I quickly got out of my car and said, ‘Lindsay, are you ok?’ And she didn’t really respond, she was moving fast,” said X17 photographer Perry Farinola.

Farinola then saw Lohan get into another car. He said she didn’t appear to have been drinking.

“She looked good coming out of the club and the party that I saw her at,” he said.

The police didn’t agree. Their initial investigation led to charges.

“Officers tracked Miss Lohan to the local hospital where she ultimately was placed under arrest for … driving under the influence,” Lt. Mitch McCann of the Beverly Hills Police Department said Saturday.

Lohan left the scene and ended up at an L.A. hospital, where police arrested her but did not take her into custody so her minor injuries could be treated. When police impounded her car, they searched it and found something else.

“It was a usable amount of illegal narcotics that was preliminarily identified as cocaine,” McCann said.

The arrest is the latest chapter in Lohan’s history of hard partying. Saturday’s was the third car accident she’s had in the last two years. The actress recently announced she checked into rehab for alcohol abuse in January, though paparazzi cameras have since caught her drinking.

The current case could transcend the tabloids: Police say Lohan could face additional charges. Her tentative arraignment date is Aug. 24.

Ronald Richards, a Beverly Hills attorney, believes Lohan could go the way of Paris Hilton — to jail.

“It is a very serious misdemeanor on the panaloply of misdemeanors, and then you have the DUI,” Richards told ABC News Radio. “She could be looking at a lot of classes and a lot of community service.”

ROMULUS, Mich. (AP) — A suburban Detroit man accused of trying to run over a police officer during a drug bust was jailed Saturday on a $50,000 bond.

Nicholas Stevens, 19, of Melvindale was held in the Wayne County Jail after being arraigned on charges of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, resisting and obstructing a police officer, accessory after the fact to a felony and being a habitual offender.

Undercover officers from the Downriver Area Narcotics Team had bought drugs from a group of suspects about 8 p.m. Thursday in Melvindale, then moved in to make an arrest, Michigan State Police said.

Stevens was in a vehicle and allegedly drove toward an officer as he fled the scene. Another officer shot Stevens in the shoulder, but he managed to drive away without striking the officer.

Stevens was found hours later at a local hospital, where he was being treated for the gunshot wound. He was turned over to police after he was treated.

A preliminary hearing was scheduled for May 21 in 24th District Court in Melvindale.

ANDERSON, Ind. — An inmate moved from New Castle Correctional Facility after a riot there last month tried to bust through a cement jail wall with a bedpost, authorities said Friday. Shawn Lee Arnold, 32, faces a preliminary charge of attempted escape, a Class C felony, for the incident. Arnold was imprisoned at New Castle and moved to another location after the April 24 riot, Madison County Sheriff Ron Richardson said. He then was brought to the Madison County Jail for a plea agreement and sentencing on auto theft and two counts of resisting law enforcement. On May 6, jail deputies heard a pounding sound echoing around the jail. After a 20-minute search, they found that Arnold had pounded through the jail’s interior wall to the outside brick, Richardson said. “He made a substantial hole in that amount of time,” Richardson said. “He had removed the support post from a bunk bed in another room.” The walls to the Madison County Jail are made up of concrete blocks, rebar and brick. “He had tried to pry the window away to enlarge the hole but was unable to,” Richardson said. Richardson said he and members of the jail staff have already met with Madison County commissioners to discuss how to improve security at the jail. Arnold has since been transferred to the Indiana Youth Center in Plainfield.

Saudi officials say a terror plot they’ve broken up was on the verge of being carried out.

Saudi police say they’ve arrested 172 Islamic militants in an alleged plot to carry out suicide attacks against “public figures, oil facilities” and “military zones.”

An Interior Ministry spokesman tells The Associated Press that the planning was nearly complete, except for setting the “zero hour” for the attacks. The official says “they had the personnel, the money, the arms.”

The ministry says some of the detainees had been sent to other countries to train as pilots to attack Saudi oil fields.

It says the militants also planned to storm Saudi prisons to free inmates.
