It didn’t take long for Lindsay Lohan to go back to her old ways. The AP reports that the actress was busted for drunk driving early Tuesday in Santa Monica, her second DUI in two months.

Lohan’s car was pulled over near the Santa Monica Police Department after cops were called about a car chase, said Sgt. Shane Talbot. Passengers in a black Cadillac Escalade said they were being chased by a white Denali SUV, driven by Lohan. Police met up with the SUVs in the parking lot of Santa Monica’s Civic Center.

The passengers in the other vehicle apparently knew Lohan, police said, but did not realize she was the person chasing them. Police said Lohan had two passengers in her vehicle, and there were three people in the other vehicle.

Lohan, 21, was taken into custody at 2:15 AM after failing a field sobriety test. 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.

She was 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.

Officers found cocaine in one of Lohan’s pants pockets during a pre-booking search.

Lohan was later released on $25,000 bail, according to police.

The actress checked out of the Malibu treatment center Promises in Malibu on July 13 after 45 days of treatment. She entered the facility on May 28 after a wild Memorial Day weekend, in which she was arrested for DUI. While searching her car, cops found a substance tentatively identified as cocaine.

Since leaving rehab, Lohan has voluntarily worn an alcohol monitoring bracelet around her ankle (it’s not court-ordered, but voluntary) because, her rep tells Us, “she’s committed to her sobriety.”

More to come as this story develops…
