| BEVERLY HILLS, California — Troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan was busted early Tuesday on DUI charges for the second time in a matter of months -- and cops said they found cocaine in one of her pants pockets. Lohan was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, driving on a suspended license and possession of cocaine, among other charges, said Sgt. Shane Talbot. She was pulled over near the Santa Monica Police Department after authorities spotted her car chasing another vehicle, said Talbot. Authorities conducted a field sobriety test and then transported Lohan to the police department. Lohan's blood alcohol level was between .12 and .13, well over the .08 legal limit, cops told gossip Web site TMZ.com. The 21-year-old actress’ arrest happened about 2:15 a.m. in Santa Monica, Calif., near Pico Boulevard and Main Street, according to TMZ. Bail was reportedly set for $25,000. Lohan checked out of a Malibu rehab center on July 13, after a stay of more than six weeks. She has been wearing an alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet, going to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and receiving therapy ever since. The "Mean Girls" star, who turned 21 on July 2, checked into the swank facility after a wild Memorial Day weekend during which she crashed her Mercedes Benz into a curb, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and was photographed slumped in the passenger seat of a friend's car. Just last Thursday, Lohan turned herself in to police to be booked on suspicion of driving under the influence during the Memorial Day weekend car crash, police said. Accompanied by her attorney, Lohan surrendered herself at the Beverly Hills Police Department to be fingerprinted and photographed, said Officer Brian Ballieweg. She was booked on suspicion of a DUI with a blood alcohol level above .08, California's legal limit, and on suspicion of misdemeanor hit and run, Ballieweg said. After the Memorial Day incident, police said she had been arrested for investigation of driving under the influence, though she wasn't formally booked on the allegation until Thursday. The actress was released on her own recognizance. A court date was scheduled for August 24. Lohan said in January she had checked into a rehabilitation center for substance abuse treatment. Earlier this month, Lohan's publicist Leslie Sloane Zelnik said the star was "doing great." "Lindsay is working hard on her sobriety and we are all supporting her," she said.
