LOS ANGELES: Actress Lindsay Lohan will stand trial on March 18 on charges she lied to California police about a June car crash and violated probation, raising the possibility she could be sent back to jail.

A judge in Los Angeles on Wednesday set the trial date on charges related to the car crash and said the court will hold a hearing at the same time on whether Lohan in the incident violated probation from a 2011 jewelry theft.

Lohan case returns to court over lying allegations

ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES: Lindsay Lohan is expected to be arraigned Tuesday in a misdemeanor case over allegations she lied to police about a June traffic accident, though the actress is not required to attend the hearing.

Lohan is charged with reckless driving, lying to police about whether she was driving when her Porsche slammed into the back of a dump truck, and obstructing police from performing their duties. The accident occurred while Lohan and her assistant were on their way to shoot a beach scene for the television movie "Liz and Dick."

Lohan told police that she wasn't driving, but police suspect she was behind the wheel. The wreck sent her to the hospital briefly. The actress was on probation at the time for a 2011 necklace theft case and could be sentenced to 245 days in jail if a judge determines her conduct violated her probation. Her probation was revoked last month but she had yet to enter a plea on the new charges.

Lohan's publicist and longtime attorney Shawn Holley did not return messages Monday about the hearing.

The accident was not the only problem she encountered while shooting "Liz and Dick," a film based on the love affair between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. A week after the accident, paramedics were summoned to Lohan's hotel room when she was late to a shoot. Her publicist at the time attributed her absence to fatigue and dehydration.

The film was expected to be a comeback opportunity for Lohan, who spent the past several years struggling with criminal court cases. Her performance, however, was panned by critics and fans.

She also was arrested in New York after an alleged fight with a woman, but a criminal complaint hasn't been drawn up. The district attorney's office there said last week that its inquiry was ongoing.

Although Lohan is not required to appear at Tuesday's hearing, she would have to appear when a probation violation hearing is scheduled.

Lindsay Lohan Bank Accounts: SEIZED By the IRS!

The IRS has seized ALL of Lindsay Lohan's money in a bizarre development that exemplifies the actress' current financial woes ... in addition to her legal ones.

 Her tax situation is well documented. The U.S. government has filed tax liens against Lindsay for 2009-2010, claiming she owes $233,904 in unpaid federal taxes.

Charlie Sheen gave her $100,000 - because he can, and because he's a good guy who bonded with her on the set of Scary Movie 5 - to help with the situation.

The problem is that check barely scratched the surface, and Lindsay also owes money for 2011. The IRS has given her time to pay, but grown tired of waiting.

Thus, the feds have seized ALL her bank accounts.

Lohan is said to be in full-on panic mode about her financial problems, and desperately trying to make money to get out of the hole and stay there ... but is she?

The actress has earned an estimated $2 million just this year. Makes you wonder where that money's going, because it would easily cover the IRS bill.

Either she owes money to so many people that $2 million in one year can't cover them all, or she's clueless ... either option seems feasible at this point.

Lindsay Lohan is in trouble once again

Lindsay Lohan is in trouble with laws again. The Liz & Dick star was arrested early Thursday morning after allegedly punching a woman named Tiffany Eve Mitchell at New York City's Avenue nightclub. Lindsay was released from custody shortly before 8 a.m., and authorities say they expect her to be issued a desk-appearance ticket.

According to multiple reports, the woman Lindsay allegedly punched in the face, Tiffany Eve Mitchell, is a 28-year-old visiting from West Palm Beach, Fla., with her husband. Per New York City's WNBC news, eyewitnesses claim that LiLo and her crew tried to boot Mitchell's group from the lounge area where they were seated. Later, as Mitchell was walking out, the actress purportedly punched her from behind, toward the left side of her face, and knocked her to the ground. LiLo supposedly tried to exit through the back door, but Mitchell's husband called 911. Mitchell reportedly suffered some bruising and was treated at the scene, but she was not taken to a hospital.

Lindsay Lohan on Playing Elizabeth Taylor: "Everything I've Gone Through Made Me Ready" for This

Elizabeth Taylor, the dark-haired beauty who lit up the silver screen, lived an epic life full of triumph and tragedy. Her name is still known throughout the world and epitomizes elegance. While fans fondly revere this movie legend, she is also remembered as the consummate femme fatal who always had the eyes of the world on her every move. This was especially true during the 1960s, when the Academy Award winner began a passionate and complex love affair with fellow actor, Richard Burton. Together, they commanded the international stage and set off a global media frenzy.

Taylor and Burton were Hollywood royalty and had one of the most notorious romances of their time, spanning two decades. They were married for 12 years, from 1964 to 1976, with a brief divorce in 1974. Their fascinating and compelling story comes to life in the new Lifetime original movie, Liz and Dick, premiering Sunday, Nov. 25, which is based on the true story of the couple's tumultuous love affair. Lindsay Lohan takes on the role of Taylor, and Grant Bowler portrays Burton.
