Actress Lindsay Lohan may face a jail term for allegedly possessing cocaine.
The police had recovered "a usable amount of cocaine" from the 'Mean Girls' star's luxury car after it met with an accident in Beverly Hills on May 26, suspected to be a result of the actress' drunk-driving.
Investigators who arrested Lohan said that the drug was found in her 75,000 pound Mercedes convertible.
"A usable amount of an illegal narcotic tentatively identified as cocaine was recovered and booked. Police would not specify where the drugs were found," People quoted Beverly Hills Police Lt. Mitch McCann as saying at that time.
"She was charged with a misdemeanour. There is a potential for additional charges," he had added.
The 20-year-old actress may be sentenced to one-year imprisonment if convicted of possessing cocaine, as under Californian law it is an offence punishable by jail term.
Fox News correspondent Laura Ingle said on Sunday night that Lohan could serve time alongside hotel heiress Paris Hilton, who is due to begin her sentence on June 5.
"She could face a serious jail term and could well end up in the same facility as Paris," the Sun quoted her as saying.
It is believed that Lohan was driving the car at the time of the accident in which she herself suffered minor chest injuries. The car was carrying two more passengers.
