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.
