Los Angeles: Troubled star Lindsay Lohan has been sentenced to 30 days in jail for violating her probation after admitting that she violated the terms of her probation. The actress escaped a lengthy prison sentence from Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner, who warned the actress that she would go to jail if she slips up again, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Lohan will begin her fifth jail term on November 9. But Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said she will essentially be booked and released within a day or two because she is a nonviolent offender and
the jails are overcrowded, the paper said.
The 25-year-old, who has a history of legal trouble, was tossed out of a 360-hour program at a women's center for failing to show up and rarely attending court-ordered counseling.
Sautner has ordered Lohan to perform her remaining 400-plus hours of community service at the county morgue because a women's shelter where Lohan might have worked said she would be a "bad example" for its clients.
The judge gave Lohan a 270-day suspended sentence for violating her probation for jewelry theft and drunk driving but Lohan was ordered to follow a strict schedule of community service and psychotherapy sessions.
In May, Lohan received a sentence of 120 days in jail for the misdemeanor necklace theft but instead served 35 days of house detention.
