(Newser) – Santa Monica cops booked actress Lindsay Lohan early this morning on five counts, including drunk driving and cocaine possession. The hits keep coming for Lohan: The arrest comes two weeks after she checked out of an chic California rehab clinic and only five days after she was booked on a DUI-related misdemeanor from May.

Police picked up Lohan in a parking lot car chase after a party around 2 AM PST; she blew between a .12 and a .13 on a breathalizer, and had cocaine in her car. According to online scandal sheet TMZ, Lohan has been released from jail and is "very upset." The starlet canceled her scheduled appearance on NBC's Tonight Show tonight; SNL alum Rob Schneider will appear instead, dressed as Lohan.
