Lohan’s Denial: “I Wasn’t Driving!”




SANTA MONICA – Lindsay Lohan’s latest defense comes in two sentences: “I wasn’t driving!” and “The drugs aren’t mine!” Sorry Lindsay, but we’ve heard it all before. Three men who were at the party and in the vehicle with Lohan have reportedly told TMZ the juicy details of what really happened that night.



Apparently, Lohan had commandeered a GMC Denali belonging to Dante Nigro, one of the witnesses. “She [Lohan] was mad after her assistant quit and she jumped in my car to go after her. She was driving pretty fast, over 100mph, and was swerving all over the road.” said Nigro.



Nigro and the other men, Jakon Sutter and Ronnie Blake has gone to the party at the behest of the boyfriend of Lohan’s assistant, but only Nigro was let inside. “We were in the car and were ready to leave,” said Jakon Sutter. “She [Lohan] jumped into the driver’s seat and took off with us in the vehicle.”



According to TMZ, “Ronnie [Blake] was so fearful, he jumped out of the vehicle as it accelerated. Just as he hit the ground, she ran over his foot and just kept going.” Lohan began chasing after her assistant and they drove in circles along PCH in Malibu. Eventually, Lohan lost track of the car she was following and drove to the girl’s mother’s house instead, thinking that was where she [the assistant] would be going.



“I tried to grab the wheel, but she [Lohan] yelled, ‘If you touch me, I’ll sue you!’ and so I left her alone,” said Nigro. “She kept saying, “I can’t get in trouble, I’m a celebrity! I can do whatever the f—k I want!’”



The mother of the girl that Lohan had been chasing was the one who alerted the cops of her [Lohan’s] erratic driving and behavior. As the cops arrested and booked her, Lohan claimed, “I wasn’t driving! The black kid was!” When the police found cocaine in a pocket on her jeans while performing a routine search, Lohan stated, “It’s not mine!”



“I never saw her without a drink the entire night,” said Nigro. “We even watched her fail a sobriety test.” TMZ reported that “Nigro tried warning her [Lohan] that the woman she was chasing was heading towards the police station. She just kept yelling that she was above the law.”



Lohan is reportedly supposed to appear in a Santa Monica courtroom for her arrest on August 24.
