In January 2020, 59-year old Dina, who is the mother of Lindsay Lohan, was arrested for driving while drunk. ABC7 obtained court documents that showed that she was sentenced to 18 days behind bars, on Friday. She had pleaded guilty to felony drunk driving, earlier in the year. She also faces five years of probation after her arrest on Long Island in 2020. She had been driving her Mercedes with a suspended license
Dina pleaded guilty to operating a motor vehicle when intoxicated. She also pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident after she crashed into another vehicle. Lohan had tried to flee the scene after she crashed into a car near Merrick Mall, last January. The driver called the police when she fled the scene.
The victim of the car crash chased Dina as she tried to leave the scene of the accident. She was taken into custody outside her residence. The court documents stated that a police officer who responded found Dina in the driver seat of a Mercedes car with the engine on. He observed her and said that she had alcohol on her breath, glassy eyes and slurred speech.
He also said that when she got out of he car, she fell to the ground. Dina accused the officer of pushing her. She also said that she imbibed a single glass of wine.
Dina has agreed not to appeal against her conviction. She has to take part in a victim impact panel. She also has to participate in a recidivist alcohol probation program. She also lost her driving license for 18 months as it was revoked. She has to install an ignition interlock device on her vehicle during probation. Dina will also pay a few surcharges. As of now, it is unclear when Dina will face her prison sentence.
This is not the first time that Dina has faced DUI charges. In 2014, she was convicted of aggravated drunken driving. She had been arrested earlier in Nassau County. She had to undertake community service and also had to take part in an anti-drunken driving program.
