Lohan Taken Into Custody For Jail Term

[photogallerylink id=13449 align=left]Actress Lindsay Lohan was taken into custody Tuesday — a bit late, but without incident — to begin serving her jail sentence for a probation violation. The actress rose and was handcuffed behind her back after a brief hearing. She arrived at court about 10 minutes late, prompting Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel to begin calling other matters.

 

The judge told Lohan's attorney and a prosecutor that she wanted to meet with them later Tuesday to discuss issues in

the case. 

Lohan was accompanied to court by her mother, Dina and younger sister Ali, who wiped away tears after her sister was taken into a lockup. The actress' father, Michael Lohan, was also present. 

Revel ordered officials not to allow Lohan to serve any of her sentence on house arrest or work release, but she is likely to spend much less time in custody than her three-month sentence. 

The judge determined two weeks ago that the "Mean Girls" star violated her probation by missing seven alcohol education classes since December. 

Lohan has been sentenced to 90 days in jail and three months in rehab but is likely to serve far less time due to jail overcrowding. 

She has been on probation since August 2007 after pleading guilty to misdemeanor drug charges and no contest to three driving charges. 

Lohan is expected to serve her sentence in isolation at a suburban Los Angeles jail that has housed other starlets, including Nicole Richie, Paris Hilton, Michelle Rodriguez and Lohan for 84 minutes in 2006.
