Lohan's Dad Pleads Not Guilty To Felony

PLEADED: Michael Lohan, father of 18-year-old actress Lindsay Lohan, pleaded not guilty in a New York courtroom Tuesday to an upgraded felony charge in connection with a fiery car crash on Long Island on Feb. 19, reports the Associated Press. Lohan, 44, was initially charged with a misdemeanor. The violation was upgraded to aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle after investigators determined that Lohan had been driving with a suspended or revoked license from a prior conviction of driving under the influence and had a blood alcohol limit nearly double the legal limit, said prosecutor Joy Watson. Defense lawyer Rory Calhoun told reporters outside the courtroom that Lohan is trying to "straighten out his life" and is enrolled in an alcohol abuse program at the Nassau County jail. His next court date is set for April 26.
