Exciting, yes, but the best part of the story's the police report, especially where a "concerned citizen" called police after witnessing Locklear "driving forwards and backwards over a pair of sunglasses and revving her engine" in a parking lot. Except, she wasn't drunk. Yup, you read that right. More after the jump.

The report goes on:

"The citizen became concerned when Ms. Locklear exited her vehicle and stumbled into the traffic lane...the citizen called 911 and reported the entire incident to CHP Ventura Dispatch."

The report goes on to state when officers arrived Locklear appeared disoriented, and after giving her a DUI test they determined it was not alcohol.

"Although obvious impairment was exhibited during the tests, alcohol was ruled out as a factor."

Locklear was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence and taken to the Santa Barbara CHP office.

"She was evaluated by a drug recognition expert, who concluded Ms. Locklear was under the influence of a controlled substance, and could not safely operate a motor vehicle."

<![CDATA[ Another DUI For Lindsay Lohan? ]]> Lindsay-Lohan-Mug-Shot.jpgGlad to hear that whole rehab thing was working so well for her. Apparently, according to the Associated Press:
"Lindsay Lohan, who just finished a second stint in rehab for substance abuse treatment, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving and possession of cocaine early Tuesday, authorities said.


Lohan, who is already facing a drunken driving charge in Beverly Hills, was stopped near the Santa Monica Police Department after authorities were called about a car chasing another vehicle, said Sgt. Shane Talbot.
Authorities conducted a field sobriety test and then transported Lohan to the police department.

A breath test was conducted and her blood alcohol was between .12 percent and .13 percent, Talbot said. California's legal limit is 0.08 percent.

The 21-year-old actress was booked on two misdemeanor charges of suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and driving on a suspended license and two felony charges of possession of cocaine and transport of a narcotic, Talbot said.

During a pre-booking search, police found cocaine in one of Lohan's pants pockets, Talbot said."

Although we did hear she managed not to flash anyone her crotch. So there's that, we guess. (Hat tip to Tim!) [via MSNBC]
