Lindsay Lohan’s Father Charged With DWI

Newsday reports that Lindsay Lohan’s troubled father Michael drove straight into a telephone pole in Syosset early Saturday barely escaping his car before it ignited in a ball of fire, Nassau police said. The 44-year-old Laurel Hollow resident was driving a friend’s car south on Cold Spring Road just after midnight when he veered off the road and careened into a telephone pole, knocking it down and leaving live wires scattered across the road, police said. He faces charges of driving while intoxicated and third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, because he was driving with a suspended license.
