After she almost dodged a bullet
with her jewelry case theft, Lindsay seems to be into more trouble again for
the nth time. As if all of her legal entanglements were not enough, she will
now likely to face jail time. According to TMZ’s source, the Santa Monica cops,
who responded to the crash site, when her Porsche crashed into an 18-wheeler
truck at the Pacific Coast Highway, figured out that she was lying to them.
This was when she told them that she wasn’t driving at that time. Lying to the
cops is a serious crime. But this was refuted by her assistant, Gavin. During
the time of the accident that he and Lindsay were in the hospital, the cops
asked him if Lindsay was indeed driving her. He assumed that the cops already
saw her seatbelt marks in her shoulder and that they already know she was the
one driving. He gave a non-committal “okay”, when the cops confronted him. The
cops passed his answer as an affirmative and according to him used this to file
a misdemeanor case against her. Lindsay’s assistant insisted that he neither
confirm nor deny it. While, the driver of the truck that her Porsche slammed
with, collaborated with Lindsay’s assistant’s recount of the incident and said
that he also saw Lindsay behind the wheel. According to the law enforcement
sources, though, when she was questioned about it, she denied it. This was
before her lawyer, Shawn Holley, could even make a dash to the hospital and save
her ass of it again. She was a tad minute too late.
After the Santa Monica City
attorney decides to file the criminal case against her, it will be passed to
Judge Jane Godfrey of the L.A. County Superior Court for another hearing, where
she is currently serving her probation for jewelry case theft. And we all know
that L.A. court is almost always true. It will be remembered that she became a
suspect in the theft of worth $100,000 watches and sunglasses of her multimillionaire
friend, Sam Magid. Sources that are connected
with the case told TMZ that when Lindsay’s case is arraigned, Judge Godfrey will
revoke Linday’s probation and the matter will be set to a full hearing due to
her probation violation in the jewelry case because of her supposed lying to
the cops. Probation revocation would mean that her probation could be extended,
or her fine could be higher and/or jail time again for the 26-year-old actress.
For those who are wondering, her
former judge with the jewelry theft case will not be handling her case anymore.
Her next criminal case will be handled by whoever judge will be assigned next. When
will she ever learn?
