Breaking News: Lindsay Lohan Facing Criminal Battery Charges?
Earlier this morning I told you about how Lindsay Lohan had been moved partly due to a run-in with one of the Betty Ford staffers. Turns out that “run-in” resulted in a call to the police for “hand-to-hand battery,” according to TMZ. And the staffer wants Lindsay charged with criminal battery.
Apparently the confrontation occurred after Lindsay returned to the center 10 minutes after her curfew.
Lindsay claims when she walked into the BFC — a female staff member was “unfairly” scolding her about the situation … and demanded the actress take a drug/alcohol test. We’re told it was during the heated exchange that the woman “put her hands on Lindsay.”
Lindsay claims she told the woman, “Take your hands off of me” and then “pushed back.”
As we previously reported, local police received a call at 1:03 AM for “hand-to-hand battery” — and LiLo was named as a suspect. The staffer wants LiLo prosecuted for criminal battery.
We’re told Lindsay feels the staffer has had it out for her for a while … and with LiLo reaching the end of her stay at the clinic, the actress believes the staffer was looking for a final confrontation.
If things were bad enough that the police were called, then that’s NOT a good sign. Whether the staffer had it in for Lindsay or not, if Lindsay hadn’t gotten physically aggressive, things wouldn’t have escalated. {Sigh}
