More on the Lindsay Lohan story

Lindsay Lohan has returned to rehab, though not to Promises in Malibu. Her lawyer issued a statement earlier today that reads, "Addiction is a terrible and vicious disease. Since Lindsay transitioned to outpatient care, she has been monitored on a SCRAM bracelet and tested daily in order to support her sobriety. Throughout this period, I have received timely and accurate reports from the testing companies. Unfortunately, late yesterday I was informed that Lindsay had relapsed. The bracelet has now been removed. She is safe, out of custody and presently receiving medical care." Police say the monitoring device did not help in notifying them that Lohan was allegedly driving under the influence early this morning. Her scheduled appearance on the Tonight Show this evening has been canceled, and an arraignment has been set for August 24 at 8:30 a.m.
