Lohan must decide on plea deal. Image source, Getty Images. Lindsay Lohan was jailed after breaking the terms of her probation. Published 3 November Published 20 October Published 22 July Published 30 June Published 24 March In court, Lohan was represented by her longtime lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, who had resigned earlier but never filed a formal motion with the court.
Famed celebrity lawyer Robert Shapiro said on Friday that he had agreed to represent the actress, but Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel said on Tuesday that he had told her hours earlier that he would not take the case. She said the case, which is atypical for the attention it receives, spotlighted that drunken driving is a serious offence with consequences.
While the judge did not address Lohan's tardiness on Tuesday directly, she did order her to report to probation officials within a day of her release from jail. Revel also has ordered officials not to allow Lohan to serve any of her sentence on house arrest or work release. Two weeks ago the judge determined that the Mean Girls star violated her probation by missing seven alcohol education classes since December.
She had been on probation since August after pleading guilty to misdemeanour drug charges and no contest to three driving charges. Lohan, a prolific user of the microblogging site Twitter, posted a message roughly 12 hours before her court appearance referencing her looming incarceration.
The jail and rehab stints have left some of the actress' projects in limbo, including her planned portrayal of porn star Linda Lovelace in a biopic. Once considered an up-and-coming star, Lohan has in recent years been better-known as a tabloid staple and for the criminal case she has struggled to put behind her. Her probation had to be extended for a year to give Lohan more time to complete her alcohol education courses and Revel ordered weekly attendance in December.
But the actress didn't complete the sessions as ordered and missed a court date in May, setting a stage for her return to jail. She is expected to serve her time - probably a quarter of her sentence or less - in isolation at a women's jail in the industrial suburb of Lynwood. She will be forced to wear a jail-issued jumpsuit and be given a set of simple toiletries that all inmates receive: toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, comb, deodorant, shampoo and shaving implements.
