Lindsay Lohan Jailed for DUI Probation Violations

On behalf of Law Offices of Bill O'Connell on Wed., 07/21/10 posted in DUI Defense

Lindsay Lohan was booked into a Lynwood, California, jail on Tuesday to begin serving a 90-day sentence for violating the terms of her DUI probation. Los Angeles County Sheriff's officials said that because the actress is a nonviolent offender, she will be released early to ease overcrowding in California's prisons. The officials said Lohan will serve 13 days of the 90-day sentence.

Two weeks ago, Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel sentenced Lohan to 90 days in jail, to be followed by 90 days in rehab, for failing to complete her court-mandated weekly alcohol-education classes. Lohan was on probation after pleading guilty to misdemeanor drug charges and no contest to three driving charges after a 2007 DUI arrest.

Lindsay Lohan Sentenced to Jail for DUI Probation Violations

Superior Court Judge Marsha N. Revel sentenced Lindsay Lohan yesterday to 90 days in jail for repeatedly violating her parole. After she is released from jail, Lohan will also be required by the Beverly Hills judge to spend 90 days in a residential substance-abuse rehabiliation program. Lohan was arrested on two occasions in 2007 and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and cocaine. She will surrender and begin her jail sentence on July 20.

In determining the punishment for Lohan, Judge Revel said she considered Lohan's failure to attend her required weekly alcohol education classes. Lohan's DUI probation was extended for a year last fall to give her more time to complete them, but a class operator testified that she had missed several.

Lohan's defense attorney told the judge that, although her client had not completed her program yet or perfectly, she had changed her behavior. Lohan pleaded for another chance and told the judge that she was taking the court and her program seriously, but the judge was not swayed and believed her apology to be insincere.
