After a topsy-turvy day in court, Lindsay Lohan was found in violation of probation – and sentenced to four months in jail – on Friday, for allegedly stealing a $2,500 necklace. The actress, who was allowed to post bail, was also sentenced to 480 hours of community service by a Los Angeles judge. Lohan, 24, arrived at Lynwood Jail at approximately 5:30 p.m. PT in a sheriff's vehicle – her fourth trip to the facility – where she was given an orange jumpsuit. She was released at 9:21 p.m., according to inmate records. Earlier in the day, Lohan, 24, scored a legal victory when Judge Stephanie Sautner reduced her felony grand theft charge to a misdemeanor, explaining she was "giving [Lohan] an opportunity," because reducing charges for nonviolent defendants is common in more serious cases than Lohan's. Because of the reduction, Lohan was granted $75,000 bail for the probation violation while pending appeal.
Needless to say, Lindsay is PISSED that she has to go back to jail.
"She is fine," says producer Nathan Folks, who is a close friend of Lohan, 24. "Obviously, she is upset about [being sentenced to four months in jail]. She is angry because she has been working so hard on turning her life around," says Folks, who insists Lohan is clean and sober. "She didn't do what they said she did. She didn't steal that necklace." Still, Lohan is resigned to accept whatever decision comes down from the court when her trial begins June 3. "She is ready to do her time. She wants to go to A.A. and N.A. and to serve her [more than] 400 hours [of community service]," Folks says. "She has already been doing lots of charity work."Source
