BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – Lindsay Lohan turned herself in to face charges of driving under the influence in connection with the Memorial Day weekend hit-and-run crash that sent her into rehab.
Accompanied by her attorney, the 21-year-old actress surrendered at the Beverly Hills Police Department Thursday afternoon to be fingerprinted and photographed, Officer Brian Ballieweg said.
Lohan’s blood-alcohol level at the time of the crash was above California’s 0.08 percent legal limit, Ballieweg said. She is also faces a misdemeanor charge of hit and run, he said.
Lohan was released on her recognizance. A court date was scheduled for Aug. 24.
A message left early Friday with her publicist was not immediately returned.
Lohan and two other adults were in her 2005 Mercedes SL-65 convertible when she lost control and crashed into a curb and shrubs on Sunset Boulevard on May 26, police said.
Lohan got into a second car and was driven to a hospital in Century City for minor injuries, police said. The others in her car were not hurt.
Officers received a 911 call about the accident and traced her to the hospital.
Last week, Lohan checked out of a rehabilitation center after more than six weeks. It was her second stint in rehab this year.
