Fallen starlet Lindsey Lohan was once again in trouble Wednesday, as a judge revoked her probation and she was led from the courtroom in handcuffs. Although a Nov. 2 hearing will determine if she goes to jail, she reportedly posted a $100,000 bail and was released.
Fox News reported that Lohan was sentenced to 360 hours of community service over the course of a year and, after six months, has completed about an hour and a half.
The legal problem is the latest for Lohan, who in the last several years has gone from promising and acclaimed young actress to turbulent party girl to punchline. In 2003, Lohan began building a reputation as a serious, committed teen actress in movies such as “Mean Girls” and “Freaky Friday.”
It’s difficult to pinpoint where Lohan’s troubles began, but while filming “Georgia Rule” with Jane Fonda, Lohan was hospitalized for exhaustion. A letter to her from the film’s producer chastises her for “ongoing all night heavy partying.” Lohan was subsequently in and out of rehab facilities and arrested for DUI. When she is pulled over she also has a small amount of cocaine. She pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three years of probation. She was sent to Betty Ford, where she gets into an altercation with a worker, which results in a lawsuit. This all occurred in 2007.
After being released from Betty Ford, Lohan reportedly steals a $2,500 necklace from a jewelry store and is sentenced to 480 hours of community service, with the stipulation that 120 hours be spent at the county morgue. Lohan was scheduled to appear at the homeless women’s shelter to perform her community service, but she allegedly “showed up once and left after an hour.”
During Wednesday’s hearing, Judge Stephanie Sautner said, “If jail meant something in the state of California now, maybe I’d put her in jail.”
