Los Angeles, June 10 (THAINDIAN NEWS) TMZ has reported that prosecutors have brought four charges against Planet of the Apes star Estella Warren. The Canadian actress couldn’t believe her luck earlier this week when it emerged that she has escaped a possible felony charge of trying to escape from lawful custody.

Her luck has changed because prosecutors have decided to bring all other charges against her. The actress has been given charges of driving under influence, resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer and hit and run. If she is found guilty of the charges, Estella could go to jail for at least two years.

The Law & Order star was arrested in May following suspicion that she was driving under influence. When the officers subjected the actress to sobriety test, she failed and was taken to the police custody. While she was waiting to be booked into the police records, Estella slipped out of the handcuffs and escaped through the backdoor of the police station. The officers however managed to re-arrest her later.

Prosecutors decided not to bring federal charges against the actress for trying to escape because she had not been booked in at the time that she tried to escape.

Estella will make her first appearance in court next week.
