Lindsay Lohan surrendered to the Beverly Hills Police Department Thursday afternoon to be formally booked for her hit-and-run traffic accident last May, according to information from the Los Angeles Sheriff's department.

Beverly Hills Sergeant Michael Publicker confirms to Usmagazine.com that Lohan, 21, "surrendered herself to the Beverly Hills Police Department. At approximately 4:15 p.m., Ms. Lohan was booked at the Beverly Hills Jail as a result of her actions related to the traffic accident that occurred on May 26, 2007 within the City of Beverly Hills."

Publicker adds, "The booking process was completed without incident and Ms. Lohan was released on her own recognizance."

The L.A. District Attorney's office expects to receive the case from the Beverly Hills Police Department today, DA spokeswoman Jane Robison tells Us.

"We have not charged her with anything yet," Robison says. "The District Attorney is the only agency that has the authority to charge her. "

Robinson added that Lohan voluntarily turning herself in for booking is not typical. People tend to wait until the judge orders the booking at the arraignment, which is set for August 24th in Lohan's case.

"If someone leaves the scene because they have to go to the hospital then the booking has to be done later," Robinson said. "But the bottom line is she has not been charged with anything yet."

The actress was taken into custody at 4:15pm and held for almost an hour before being released on $30,000 bail.

Besides having nearly twice the legal amount of alcohol in her system at the time of the Memorial Day Weekend crash, tests also revealed that Lohan had used cocaine that night, according to officials close to the investigation. Police also alleged they found "a usable amount" of cocaine inside her car.

On July 13, she completed a 45-day stay at the Malibu's Promises treatment center and is now doing an intensive outpatient program. "She's committed to her sobriety," her rep tells Usmagazine.com.
