FARMINGDALE (AP) - Lindsay Lohan s mother is facing a drunken driving charge in New York state following a traffic stop.
State police say Dina Lohan was stopped on a highway Thursday night for speeding about 25 miles (40 kilometers) east of New York City.
Police had a blood alcohol concentration at more than twice the legal limit in New York.
Lohan, 50, was booked, issued tickets and then released. She s due in court Sept. 24.
Her lawyer, Mark Jay Heller, issued a statement Friday saying Lohan "appreciates the grave seriousness" of the situation.
But he says that since she has no prior record, Lohan would likely be treated "with even-handed fairness" by the courts.
Police called an ambulance and had medics examine Lohan after she complained that she d been hurt during the arrest. No injuries were found and Lohan subsequently recanted the claim, police said.
