Lindsay Lohan is in the spotlight once again for the wrong reasons! It was 4AM Friday morning at Ave, a downtown Chelsea hotspot when a drunk Lohan allegedly cold-cocked Tiffany Eve Mitchell, a psychic from Miami. Lohan was later arrested and charged with third-degree assault. She was released by the New York Police Department later that morning.

Lohan has been telling friends she called Mitchell a “gypsy” after she noticed her and some friends crowding around her high-priced Celine purse. TMZ.com reports Lohan left the police precinct nearly four hours later with a blazer pulled over her head. She then drove off in a black SUV with her chauffeur and another man and woman who were both seen going in and out of the precinct.

Mitchell has hired the famed publicity hound Gloria Alfred to represent her if a legal battle proceeds.

Lohan’s charges come just after her portrayal of Elizabeth Taylor in the Lifetime movie “Liz and Dick” premiered to harsh reviews from both critics and the public. Her past problems with the law include stealing a diamond necklace. Last week she was charged with obstruction of justice for lying to cops about her involvement in a Los Angeles car crash. A California judge will decide if Lohan violated probation with either her obstruction of justice charge or the alleged East Coast assault.
