LINDSAY ARRESTED FOR ALLEGED ASSAULT AT NYC NIGHTCLUB/FACING CHARGES FOR PREVIOUS CAR CRASH!
Another day, another Lindsay Lohan arrest. The troubled actress was hauled off by cops in the wee hours of yesterday morning for allegedly punching a fellow Manhattan nightclub goer in the face. Lindsay was charged with third-degree assault and taken to the precinct where she was given a desk appearance ticket. TMZ reported that while at the club Avenue, Lindsay told the woman to give her some space, then reportedly hit her in the face. New York’s Daily News named the other woman as Tiffany Eve Mitchell, of West Palm Beach, Fla., who was at Avenue with her husband. Early reports said Mitchell and Lohan were sitting in separate VIP sections when a scuffle erupted elsewhere in the club, and Mitchell possibly bumped into Lohan in order to avoid getting involved. But TMZ later reported that the fight was over a boy - specifically, a boy bander. Apparently, Lindsay had attended a Justin Bieber concert earlier that night in order to catch the opening act, British boy band The Wanted. She had her sights set on band member Max George, and the two hit up Avenue together. But Max was reportedly “turned off” by Lilo’s alleged drunkenness and started hitting on Mitchell, and that's when Lindsay decided to take matters into her own hands...or, uh, fists.
