Raw Audio: Lindsay Lohan Allegedly Hits Rehab Worker With Phone During Frantic 911 Call

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) — A rehab worker told a 911 dispatcher that she ordered Lindsay Lohan to pack her bags and leave the Betty Ford Center after the actress hit her during a December argument, according to a recording of the call released Friday.
The six-minute call started with a chaotic exchange between Lohan and the worker, Dawn Holland, arguing over control of the phone at the facility in Palm Desert.
Later, Holland told the dispatcher she wanted to press charges.
“I have a problem because Lindsay Lohan pushed me and hit me with the phone while I was trying to talk to you,” Holland said on the recording.
A phone message for Lohan’s attorney, Shawn Holley, seeking comment on the recording was not immediately returned Friday.
Lohan was nearing the end of a three-month court-ordered rehab stint at the center after authorities said she failed a drug screening.
The Dec. 12 call resulted in an investigation by Riverside County sheriff‘s detectives into Holland’s accusations. Prosecutors said Tuesday they found insufficient evidence to file any charges.
At one point during the call, Lohan told the dispatcher she had never seen Holland before.
“She’s freaking me out,” Lohan said when she was able to get on the phone.
Listen to the raw audio:
Commotion was then heard before Holland returned to the line.
“Lindsay, you need to pack your (expletive),” Holland told the actress. “Cause now I’m getting ready to file charges on you.”
Lohan then asked Holland pointedly, “What, you want money?”
Holland said no and told Lohan she wanted to be treated with respect. By that point, the two women were yelling at one another and the audio became garbled.
The call was lost and a dispatcher had to call the facility back. Holland returned to the line and said Lohan was among three girls caught leaving the property without permission. The two other girls reeked of alcohol, Holland said.
Two of the women, including Lohan, were refusing breathalyzer tests, which prompted the argument, Holland told the dispatcher.
The dispatcher asked if Lohan was involved in sneaking out of the facility.
“Oh yes,” Holland replied. “She got busted trying to hop back over the fence.”
Holland was later fired by the center after giving an on-camera interview to celebrity website TMZ.
Within three weeks of her release from the Betty Ford Center in January, Lohan was accused of taking a $2,500 necklace from a store in the Venice area of Los Angeles.
Prosecutors filed a felony grand theft charge against the “Mean Girls” star. She has pleaded not guilty and is due back in court on April 22, when some of the evidence against her will be presented to a judge.
If the judge rules Lohan should stand trial, the actress could be sent to jail for a probation violation on a 2007 drunken driving case.
That case has haunted Lohan for nearly a year, resulting in her being sent to jail twice and rehab twice last year alone.

Posted on April 2, 2011 at 1:34pmI interviewed a young lady yesterday seeking her masters in counseling who worked at an area substance abuse treatment facility. The young lady made it clear she is done with the junkie population and the enablers who define life choices thru a disease model and always label junkies as victims.
Report Post »I respect anyone who can work in this subfield of mental health, but it’s chock full of both conservative and progressive busy bodies who falsely assert they can “cure” people… if only more sweet taxpayer or donor money is thrown at any particular oasis of treatment. I’ve chosen to limit my contact with junkies to probable cause actions and referrals to placement centers. The people who succeed in tx are (SURPRISE!) those who want to change their lifestyle. It’s folks who make the hard choices like accept withdrawal as part of the process and who can rid themselve of the “friends” who come with the junkie lifestyle. It also is important to identify enablers and, if not able to educate them, limit contact.
Always a treat to meet the junkie who is using tx to avoid legal charges, family members who believe you can “fix” the mess they watched develop and may have even enabled and lawyers who make empty threats by trying to make others own their clients’ lack of progress and discipline.
Sometimes the world doesn’t wanna be saved, only left alone. I don’t care if Lohan or anyone else chooses to destroy himself/herself with booze and drugs. As long as they don’t get behind the wheel of a car, beat on another human being or neglect someone in their care, it ain‘t my problem and it ain’t society’s problem. I say have at it and make yourself a nonissue sooner rather than later.
Holland should’ve left the area when it became clear Lohan was forcing a confrontation and “gasp!” playing the victim. It was not kosher to go on trash TV to discuss the issue. I do understand standing your ground, but we live in a “victim’s paradise” and there is truth to letting cooler heads prevail.
Why is it that Hollywood junkies are so fascinating to the unwashed masses? Instead of ignoring these tools, the audience hungers for more and even idiolizes them. Case in point: Heath Ledger. The idiocy that developed out of this guy’s death was laughable. I don’t wish ill upon other human beings, but I do expect them to own their actions. When this guy did himself in, everybody and their grandmother was Heath Ledger’s best friend, declared him to be the best thing since sliced bread and asserted a fair action flick was modern day Shakespeare with Ledger’s Joker being akin to the second coming. Wacky. The list goes on… anyone bothering to support any of Charlie Sheen’s antics is a strange bird in my opinion. What do you get out of watching the predictably absurd?
Junkies: Can‘t cure ’em, can‘t kill ’em.

Posted on April 2, 2011 at 1:42pmLohan’s choice… and she has been given ample opportunity to be both educated and supported. This isn’t “tragic”; it’s a human being choosing to self-destruct after being given chance after chance. It would be sad if this pig harmed someone else because of her selfish choices. Be very careful in giving folks a sympathy card/victim label to play. Junkies gobble up excuses to so as to regurgitate them like a turkey vulture throws up its stomach contents in self-defense when threatened.

Posted on April 2, 2011 at 3:23amWhy the heck is this JUNK and other similar JUNKY posts like this appearing on Blaze now? It is a major turn off.
Honestly, who the hell cares even one iota if Lindsay Lohan biatch slapped a rehab employee or fall down go boom outside a bar? She is completely irrelevant. All this and so much more on TMZ.com if you can stand the stench!
Is this some feeble attempt to become another Hollywood gossip site… or does Blaze intend to make itself another laughing stock of the interwebs?
