Several media outlet report that the native Merokean "was charged in California with lying to police and reckless driving for a June crash in which her Porsche slammed into a dump truck."

According to The Huffington Post:

"Lohan, 26, allegedly got into the spat with another woman at Club Avenue, in Manhattan's Chelsea section. She struck the woman in the face with her hand, police said. The woman did not require medical attention."

Lohan and her mother recently made local headlines when they got into a heated argument in front of their North Merrick home. In early October she also was arrested on harassment charges after a spat at a New York City hotel. Those charges were later dropped.
