Lindsay Lohan ordered to serve 30 days in jail
Quote:
Lindsay Lohan was ordered to serve 30 days in jail today after admitting to violating her probation.
The actress must surrender to the county jail by November 9.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner ordered her to 53 days of community service at the county morgue and numerous sessions with a psychotherapist.
She imposed strict conditions on the actress, telling her that she will now have to perform all of her community service at the morgue or risk serving an additional 270 days in jail.
The actress' sentence will likely be shortened due to jail overcrowding.
She earlier arrived at the Los Angeles Superior Court Airport branch wearing a navy polka dot dress and Giuseppe Zanotti heels, stepping out of a blacked out Cadillac Escalade SUV to a barrage of flashbulbs.
Inside the court the 25-year-old admitted to violating her probation in theft and DUI cases by failing to show up at community-service appointments at a Los Angeles skid row women's shelter.
Sautner revoked Lohan's probation at a hearing on October 19, when she lashed out at the actress, saying she had repeatedly violated the terms of her probation.
'There has been violation after violation,' Sautner told Lohan and her attorney, Shawn Holley.
Probation, she said, is a gift, adding: 'It is not a right.'
The actress was handcuffed in court and booked, but she was released a short time later on $100,000 bail pending today's hearing.
According to the judge, Lohan missed nine appointments at the Downtown Women's Shelter, where she had been ordered to perform community service.
In some cases, Lohan left the shelter after about an hour even though she had been ordered to remain there for at least four hours each time.
Lohan pleaded no contest May 11 to a misdemeanor grand theft charge involving a necklace priced at $2,500 that was taken from a Venice jewellery store.
She was placed on three years probation and ordered to spend 120 days in jail and complete the 480 hours of community service to which she had been previously sentenced for violating her probation in a 2007 misdemeanor DUI case.
Lohan was ordered in May to have her 480 hours of community service completed by April 2012, with 360 hours at the women's center and another 120 hours at the county morgue. As of the last court hearing, she had completed about 21 of the 360 hours at the skid row shelter for women, Sautner said.
After revoking the actress' probation, Sautner ordered Lohan to perform at least 16 hours of community service work at the county morgue before today's hearing. That effort got off to a bad start when - the day after her probation was revoked - Lohan showed up late and was turned away from the coroner's office.
She showed up early the next day, and she has made additional trips to the facility since.
Lohan blamed her initial tardiness on confusion over where to report and delays prompted by the crush of media waiting for her at the coroner's office.
On May 26, Lohan was booked at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood and immediately released to serve her jail sentence through home detention. She served about one month of home detention, with her sentence ending June 29.
Shortly before Lohan's home detention ended, Sautner chastised the actress for being photographed on the roof of her Venice home partying with friends.
The star of such movies as 'Mean Girls' and 'Freaky Friday' spent 13 days in a Los Angeles County jail last summer for violating her probation in the DUI case by missing multiple classes in a court-ordered alcohol education program.
