Lindsay Lohan Going to Jail for Violating Probation
A Beverly Hills Judge sentenced actress Lindsay Lohan to serve 90 days in a county jail and a consecutive 90 days at an inpatient drug/alcohol treatment center for a probation violation. This probation violation stems from a 2007 conviction for being under the influence of cocaine, DUI, and reckless driving.
The judge imposed this punishment because she believed that the actress violated the terms and conditions of her California probation sentence when she didn’t attend her regularly scheduled alcohol classes, missed a May court date, repeatedly “lied” to the court, and “didn’t take her case seriously”.
Lohan made a tearful plea in court, stating that she believed she was in compliance with her probation because she had received permission to miss and reschedule many of those classes due to her “on location” work as an actress. The judge had specifically called the alcohol program, instructing the administration that Lohan was to attend weekly meetings.
Lohan had already been granted a one-year probation extension because she wasn’t able to complete her alcohol education classes during the initial three-year probation period.
She is set to surrender to the Lynwood county jail on July 20 where she will likely serve less than one-quarter of her sentence due to jail overcrowding and “good-time” credits.
