Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan will be charged with seven midemeanor charges for driving under the influence. She was able to avoid the felony charges due in part to her age and upbringing. The decision is not a surprise, it had been rumored for over a week.

TMZ was at the Beverly Hills Courthouse this morning when the L.A. County District Attorney filed criminal charges against Lindsay Lohan. The charges are seven misdemeanors — NO FELONIES. And, there may be a plea bargain today at 1:30 PM PDT.

Lohan, who was busted twice since Memorial Day weekend, was charged with two counts of driving under the influence. If convicted of both, she’d face a minimum of four days in jail. If a felony were filed, Lohan could have faced several years in state prison.

Get well Lindsay, we need more gossip fodder from you.
