BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — An arrest warrant has been issued for actress Lindsay Lohan, possibly in connection with a 2007 drunken-driving arrest after she crashed her Mercedes-Benz into a tree, police said yesterday.

A judge at Los Angeles Superior Court in Beverly Hills issued the warrant on Friday, and it carries a bail amount of $50,000, Sgt. Mike Foxen said.

The 22-year-old star of the 2004 movie "Mean Girls" was arrested during the Memorial Day weekend in 2007 after crashing her car in Beverly Hills.

She was arrested again last July after the mother of her former personal assistant reported that her car was being chased by an SUV. Police said Lohan was at the wheel of the SUV, and she was arrested in Santa Monica.

Lohan spent 84 minutes in jail and had to perform community service and undergo drug-rehabilitation treatment in connection with those cases.

The warrant says Debra Winans told authorities Benjamin Winans pushed her to the ground.
