There's hope. After all, a Lindsay Lohan movie is currently kicking butt at the box office.

He's no Lindsay Lohan, although hopefully I'm long dead or deaf and blind when Gen Z have their nostalgic era like mine is having with the 90s and 2000s.

He was charged with assaulting a police officer. It appears he was very high. Toxicology tests can confirm that. If so, he wouldn't have the required intent to commit the offense. Let's hope he gets both good legal counsel and help with his demons.

Not one but four police officers.

Incorrect. In California, specific intent is not required to prove battery (only general intent is required), so intoxication is not a defense. Do the crime, do the time.

California Code, Penal Code - PEN § 29.4

(a) No act committed by a person while in a state of voluntary intoxication is less criminal by reason of his or her having been in that condition. Evidence of voluntary intoxication shall not be admitted to negate the capacity to form any mental states for the crimes charged, including, but not limited to, purpose, intent, knowledge, premeditation, deliberation, or malice aforethought, with which the accused committed the act.

(b) Evidence of voluntary intoxication is admissible solely on the issue of whether or not the defendant actually formed a required specific intent, or, when charged with murder, whether the defendant premeditated, deliberated, or harbored express malice aforethought.
