Rehab Worker Decides To Drop Charges Against Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan got a nice pre-Christmas present: The rehab worker who claimed the starlet assaulted her has decided to the drop charges. Apparently the woman, Dawn Holland, now wants nothing to do with a potential criminal investigation against the actress.

"Dawn will not continue to press charges against Lindsay, nor will she be assisting any further in the investigation or prosecution," her lawyer said.

When news broke about the scuffle between Dawn and Lindsay when the actress arrived back at the Betty Ford Center after curfew on December 12, it appeared as though Holland would be pressing charges. She claimed Lindsay "twisted" her arm while trying to pull a phone away. Holland also said she went to the hospital because of her injuries.

Just hours after Holland spoke to TMZ about the incident, she was fired from the rehab center for violating their confidentiality terms.

Now, Holland, who is also a recovering addict, is singing a different tune, and apparently doesn't want "in any way shape or form to do anything that would violate Lindsay's probation or cause an arrest," the lawyer said.

Although the chemical tech doesn't want to pursue the case, it's ultimately up to the authorities to decide whether LiLo will be prosecuted.
