Finally, after several months of being puzzled whether the ‘Liz and Dick’ actress would be penalized for her previous vehicle mishaps, the State of California finally ruled on Thursday that Lindsay Lohan would be charged with three crimes.

As reported, Lohan was charged with three criminal offenses as a result of her car accident last June and her alleged hit-and-run incident in a Manhattan hotel last September.

So far, no other details are yet released aside from the confirmation from Sgt. Richard Lewis of Santa Monica police that Lohan was criminally charged last Thursday morning. Nevertheless, the California court official did not confirm the charges.

Allegedly, Lohan’s charges came to light on the same day when she was arrested by the New York City police for hitting a woman in a nightclub.

Apparently, Lohan has never been careful with her acts despite her current probation. Aside from the said misconducts, Lohan was also involved in a domestic brawl in her childhood home in Long Island last October.

As a result of her carelessness, Lohan’s existing probation in California for a necklace theft could be jeopardized by her recent criminal charges.

It can be remembered that early this year, Lohan was greeted with a car accident claim brought by a paparazzo and since then, her series of misfortunes started piling up. Now, the end of the year is fast approaching and it seems that Lohan will also end her fiscal year with her legal woes due to her recklessness and misconduct.

Meanwhile, in such cases of car accidents and hit-and-run, a Los Angeles accident attorney explained that aside from the economic and non-economic damages, a court may also slap punitive damages against the offender. The same law also applies in cases of chronic DUI offenders, he added.
