HOWEVER, although the title is true…it’s not as bad as it sounds. BUT…it can get there if this guy has a good lawyer. Being that he’s a Hollywood club owner, I’m going to be he does. So here’s the deal. Linds partied at Hollywood hotspot Sayers Club last night and when the night was over, drove off in her new Porsche. As usual, it was a mad house of paparazzi and fans outside trying to get a look at the troubled actress so naturally, it wasn’t the easiest area to get out of. As she turned, her car lightly tapped the owner of the club but she kept driving. The man she hit didn’t know it was her at first and told everyone nearby he was totally fine and went on to smoke some hookah. But now that he learned it was LINDSAY LOHAN driving the car…he’s singing a different tune. Details below.
Cops were called, came to the scene, interviewed people inside the Hookah Lounge — including the manager who was lightly struck — and then left.
We’re told Lindsay may have been the one who called police to protect herself from paparazzi, and that’s why cops came.
Sources at the scene say the manager may not have suffered any injury. If that’s the case, Lindsay probably did not violate any law, but if he was injured that could constitute the crime of hit-and-run. What’s more, it could be grounds to violate her probation in the shoplifting case.
At 3:15 a.m., Cops told TMZ they have investigated and determined no one was injured so as far as they are concerned it’s case closed. They added it could be reopened if the person struck contacts them later and claims injury.
At 6:06 a.m.: The plot thickens … Sources tell us, the club manager who Lindsay struck has gone to the emergency room and we’re told he is going to press charges and hire an attorney. Cops told us they will open a hit-and-run investigation if the manager files a report.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … the 26-year-old manager was standing by his car when Lindsay was attempting a 3-point turn and she grazed his knee and his car. We’re told the manager didn’t know who Lindsay was at first and he told the paparazzi on scene and police that he didn’t need medical attention. Cops say he was told the driver was Lindsay but he said he wasn’t from this country and didn’t know who she was. We’re told a short time later he began complaining he was injured.
TMZ spoke to an eyewitness who also says the manager was fine and actually “got up and started smoking his hookah.”
