Samantha Ronson charged with drunken driving (Reuters)

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Celebrity DJ and Lindsay Lohan's ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson was charged with drunken driving following her recent arrest in a small desert town in California, officials said on Tuesday.

The San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office said Ronson was charged with two misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence of alcohol and having a blood alcohol level of .08 or above.

Ronson was arrested on August 1 near Baker, Calif., a small town about 125 miles northeast of Los Angeles. She was on her way back from playing a gig at the Palazzo in Las Vegas.

The celebrity DJ is a popular draw at nightclubs and is known for her past relationship with troubled actress Lohan, who has battled legal problems in recent years as she struggled with drug and alcohol dependency.

Samantha Ronson arrested for DUI at 10:30 in the morning (Reuters)

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) – Lindsay Lohan might be teetering her way back toward sobriety -- but her ex-girlfriend, Samantha Ronson, is apparently off the wagon.

TMZ.com reports that Ronson was arrested for DUI on Monday, following a deejaying gig at Lavo nightclub in Las Vegas.

Ronson, 33, was pulled over for speeding in her black Porsche outside of Baker, Calif. at approximately 10:30 a.m.

After performing poorly on a field-sobriety test and refusing a Breathalyzer test, Ronson was hauled into the Baker Sheriff's Department substation, where a test determined that her blood-alcohol level was over the legal limit.

Ronson, who was reportedly cooperative during the arrest, was released later in the day.
