Rizzo and Lohan leave court under different circumstances

RobertRizzo, the ex-Bell city official, was attending his own preliminary hearing today when he reported light-headedness and chest pains during the lunch break. He was taken downstairs on a gurney with a towel over his face and placed in an ambulance. He's at Good Samaritan, reportedly.

Meanwhile, former actress Lindsay Lohan went to court at the airport courthouse to face a felony theft charge of stealing from a Venice jewelery store. She left under own power, but the judge informed her first that it's a jail situation whether she is convicted or pleads out, including a no contest plea.
