Lindsay Lohan allegedly took two men hostage in the car she was driving at the time of her arrest on Tuesday, July 24, 2007.
The 21-year-old actress sped away with the two men following an argument with her assistant Tarin Graham at a Malibu party.
Lohan, who was said to have been drinking all evening, attended the party with Graham, her unnamed boyfriend and his three friends Dante Nigro, Jakon Sutter and Ronnie Blake.
Nigro, Sutter and Blake had been waiting in Nigro's GMC Denali car for Graham's boyfriend to drive them home.
In an emotional state, Lohan - whose assistant told her she was quitting during their heated exchange before driving off alone in her own car - jumped in the driver's seat, started the engine and gave chase.
A panicked Blake jumped out of the vehicle and claims Lindsay carried on driving, running over his foot.
The 21-year-old star followed Graham onto Malibu's Pacific Coast Highway, at which point Nigro told gossip website TMZ.com he tried to grab the wheel, prompting Lohan to say, "If you touch me I'll sue you."
When Lohan finally caught up with Graham she began circling her assistant's vehicle in the middle of the road.
At one point, the troubled star allegedly boasted: "I can't get in trouble. I'm a celebrity. I can do whatever the f**k I want."
Graham managed to lose Lohan and Nigro claims the actress then decided to drive to Graham's mother's house in Santa Monica to try and find her.
As they arrived, Graham's mother was pulling into the driveway, but was so panicked by Lohan's erratic driving, she immediately drove off.
The men claim Lohan then began to chase her at speeds of up to 80mph through Santa Monica, running several red lights.
Nigro realised the 'Bobby' star was being led to the local police station and warned Lohan to halt her pursuit or she would be arrested. He claims she replied: "I'm a celebrity. I'm not going to get in trouble."
The two cars eventually stopped in a car park near the station, and when officers arrived, Nigro is convinced he heard Lohan tell them: "I wasn't driving."
Nigro and Sutter then saw Lohan fail the field sobriety test, alleging when she tried to touch her nose, she almost fell over.
Lohan's representatives have refused to comment on the allegations.
The actress currently faces charges of DUI, possession of cocaine, transporting a narcotic into a custody facility and driving on a suspended licence.
