Lindsay charged with misdemeanors

Lindsay Lohan has been formally charged with misdemeanors in her two DUI cases, the LA County District Attorney's Office announced today. Lohan was charged with seven counts, including two counts each of driving under the influence, driving with blood alcohol of over .08 percent, being under the influence of cocaine and one count of reckless driving. The charges stem from two separate DUI incidents - one on Memorial Day weekend in May and the other in July in Santa Monica. In both incidents, police found Lohan in possession of cocaine, but the amounts were below the .05 grams required by office policy for felony filing. A conference before a Beverly Hills judge is set for this afternoon, in which Lohan may enter a plea a day before her arraignment, which is set for tomorrow. The I Know Who Killed Me actress is currently in rehab for the third time this year at the Cirque Lodge in Utah.
