The District Attorney wants to expand its investigation into a battery charge against Lindsay Lohan filed by a former employee of the Betty Ford Clinic.

Prosecutors in Riverside, California are looking deeper into allegations that Lindsay Lohan assaulted an employee of the Betty Ford Clinic after Lohan refused a breathalyzer test. Allegedly, Lohan was caught sneaking back into the facility and the staffer suspected that she had been drinking while outside of the rehab center. Lohan refuse the request for the breathalyzer and the staffer claims that Lohan then became violent. Because she revealed the name of her attacker in her discussions with police, the Betty Ford Clinic staffer was fired immediately following the incident.

Regardless of the outcome of this particular episode, Lindsay Lohan has quite a bit of legal trouble already on her plate. She was in the Betty Ford Clinic as a result of a judge's order and the fact that she was involved in some sort of altercation with a staffer doesn't bode well for her recovery prospects.

With her career in shambles and no end to her substance abuse problems in sight, it's hard to envision how Lindsay Lohan can recover. Clearly, she needs help on a level that is likely far beyond any she would be willing to accept. She is firmly in the grasp of a disease that has already caused her irreparable damage. There is still plenty of time to right the ship, but it's looking more and more like a future career highlight for Lindsay is going to be checking into Celebrity Rehab with Doctor Drew.
