TMZ has obtained a copy of the incident report Lindsay Lohan's alleged victim sent to officials at the Betty Ford Clinic ... and the allegations of violence are even more serious than first reported.
Dawn Holland -- whom TMZ interviewed Tuesday afternoon -- wrote her report 6 hours after her showdown with Lindsay at Betty Ford. Holland says during the heat of the argument, Lindsay "threw the phone ... I threw up my left hand to block it and then she grabbed my right hand and tried to snatch the phone that I had up to my ear, then called me a 'C__T B___H.'"
As TMZ first reported, Holland was called in by BF security to do a breathalyzer test on Lindsay and her two roommates after they returned from a night of partying past curfew.
According to the incident report, it was Dina Lohan who told Lindsay over the phone no one had to submit to a breathalyzer test. Holland writes one of the roommates admitted drinking, and then went into Lindsay's bedroom and Lindsay "yelled at me that she was talking to her mother and her mother told her she didn't have to breathalize, she asked me if I wanted to speak to her mother but would never hand me the phone."
In the report Holland says she told Lindsay -- whose code name at the clinic is Bella G. -- "You know that I could press charges against you for putting your hands on me. And she replied 'Oh, you want money.'"

The Betty Ford staffer who claims Lindsay Lohan assaulted her tells TMZ ... Lindsay had been drinking before the incident and hurt her so badly, she's now on workers' comp.
Dawn Holland, who works as a chemical technician at the Betty Ford Clinic, tells us on Sunday, December 12, just after 1 AM, Lindsay and two roommates came home from a night on the town ... violating the curfew policy.
Holland says Lindsay and company jumped a wall, trying to get inside the place she was staying without being noticed. Holland says security stopped the three women, and that's when Lindsay became belligerent and started swearing up a storm.
Holland says she was called to do a breathalyzer on the 3 women, but Lindsay refused and then pushed her. Holland says she went back in the house and Lindsay called 911 on the house phone.
Holland says she picked up another house phone to speak with 911, and Lindsay confronted her again and ripped the phone out of her hand, causing a severe sprain which caused Holland to go out on workers' comp.
Holland says she could smell alcohol on Lindsay's breath.
As for Lindsay's claim Holland touched her first, she says, "I did not touch the woman."
As TMZ first reported, Holland filed a police report and the cops are investigating Lindsay for criminal battery.Who's lyingTotal Votes: 14,758

newsday.comFBI: No harassment probes for Lohans

Despite reports Monday that the FBI was looking into allegedly threatening and harassing text messages being sent to Lindsay Lohan, her mother and brother, an FBI spokesman in Washington, D.C., said the bureau's New York and Los Angeles offices aren't aware of any investigation.
"We have 56 field offices, so it's possible some other office may be handling it," he told Newsday. "New York and L.A. seem like the logical places. Neither of those two offices seemed to know anything about it. I'm unaware of any investigation."
“The woman in the house had it out for Lindsay for a long time. She was looking for any reason to stop Lindsay from graduating from the program,” Michael charged about the person who clashed with Lindsay.
As RadarOnline.com was the first to report, Lindsay has been moved to a secure location after an altercation with a Betty Ford staffer and her father Michael charges that his daughter is being targeted by the staffer.
“I stand behind Lindsay 100 percent. To this day Lindsay has an unblemished record [edited],” said Michael.
When asked how Lindsay was coping with the sensational developments, Michael said: “She is freaking out and panicking. We all just hope this doesn’t affect her sobriety. Thankfully, we know Lindsay is a fighter and she is determined more than ever not to allow it to have an effect.”
Lindsay Lohan and higher-ups at the Betty Ford Center are trying to keep the incident between the actress and a worker out of court, RadarOnline.com is reporting exclusively.
Police are investigating a claim by a worker at the rehab center that Lindsay pushed her. Lindsay’s side is that the worker grabbed her first when the actress missed curfew by 10 minutes.
“Both sides are trying to work out something.” a source with knowledge of the situation of the situation told RadarOnline.com. “But right now the talks do not include the worker involved in the incident. But people at the center who are above the worker are interested in working this out without it landing in court.”
Furthermore, the source tells RadarOnline.com that “Lindsay is now apologetic for being late for curfew that night.”
The actress is scheduled to be released from Betty Ford on January 3, 2011 but the blowup with the worker at the sober house could have ramifications.
“Lindsay now realizes she needs to be responsible,” the source said.
Lindsay’s side and the Betty Ford Center are hoping this can be resolved without charges filed. But the Betty Ford Center higher-ups can’t stop their worker from proceeding with pressing charges, if that’s what she wants to do.
radarlonline.comA source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com, "Lindsay refused to take a breathalyzer after she was caught being late for her curfew. Lindsay did submit to a test hours after she had the altercation with the Betty Ford staffer. The test took place the next morning, and Lindsay did pass the test."
