The Riverside County district attorney’s office wants another investigation before deciding whether Lindsay Lohan will be charged with battery for last month’s skirmish with a Betty Ford Centre rehabilitation technician.
Prosecutors and investigators met and decided that the office’s investigators will further probe Ms Lohan’s alleged skirmish with rehab worker Dawn Holland, said John Hall, spokesman for the district attorney’s office.
Ms Lohan is accused of tussling with Ms Holland after the 24-year-old actress returned to the rehab centre past curfew on December 12 and refused Ms Holland’s request to take a breath test.
Police said earlier this month that Ms Lohan violated her probation and wanted her charged with battery.
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge has said Lohan will be jailed if she violates probation.
