Lindsay Lohan ordered to submit to random drug testing in Los Angeles [Updated]

A Beverly Hills judge severely restricted actress Lindsay Lohan's activity Monday, ordering her to undergo random drug testing weekly in Los Angeles.

Although Lohan's attorney said the actress was shooting a movie in Texas and asked if the drug testing could be done there, Judge Marsha N. Revel denied the request.

"She is going to have to delay that for now," Revel said. "The drug testing is going to be here."

After consulting with her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, Lohan agreed to the conditions of probation, which in addition to the random drug testing, stipulated she must abstain from drinking alcohol, wear an alcohol-detection device and attend alcohol classes once a week.

Revel reminded Lohan that "a missed test is the same as a dirty test."

Revel said the only acceptable excuse for missing an alcohol treatment program would be for drug testing. Lohan must attend all her alcohol classes as scheduled unless it interferes with a random drug test. Random drug tests take priority, Revel told the actress.

Lohan is next due in court July 6 for a probation hearing.

Lohan returned to L.A. over the weekend from the Cannes Film Festival and missed a mandatory court appearance last week after her attorneys said she lost her passport.

Revel issued an arrest warrant for Lohan on Thursday when she failed to appear in court for a status hearing on a DUI case. The warrant was lifted after Lohan's attorneys posted 10% of the actress' $100,000 bond.

Court spokesman Allan Parachini said the judge took time out of her vacation to conduct Monday's hearing.

[Updated at 9:31 a.m.: A previous version left out that Lohan must abstain from alcohol, under the judge's order. Also, Holley told the judge that Lohan missed her last alcohol treatment class because her uncle had died. Lohan did not attend the funeral, Holley said.]

This judge is an idiot.

She's working in Texas, making money and paying taxes. Let her take the drug test there.

[Mindy Blondin]

I wish she had gotten jail time....but the fact of a bracelet and weekly drug testing is ok..........tomorrow am she will start to detox.........then lets see what happens...an addict will find anyway ...not with this Judge...one screw up and she will.......slam goes the cell doors.

[Ca Commentor]

This is truly ridiculous that the worthless judge ordered her to remain in Los Angeles and not permit her to go to Texas to earn a living. Same thing in Cannes last week. Where do movie stars go whenthe world's largest film festival is going on? To the world's largest film festival. This arrogant moron could have let her test at her worksite. She ought to be glad I don't live in Los Angeles County anymore or I'd be campaigning against her at the next election.
Sure, Ms. Lohan has probably done some stuff that she shouldn't have, but that is no reason to take away her right to earn a living. LA County's tax dollars at waste at its best!!!

[Crazy Horse]

How many times does this dope addict get to violate probation before her probation is revoked and she's remanded into jail where she belongs?

[stewart]

If Mz Lohan were disiclined to have not been forthright in all of this, she could just as easily not ever returned to the US, instead she got a replacement passport, got on a plane and presented herself before the court, ans what do we witness? A misdemeanor violation being turned in to a spectacle because of who she is...

[nat turner]

Put her in jail . Quit embarrassing yourself Judge .

[Louis]

I'm skeptical of the right of the government to intrude into people's personal lives or the prospects for success when they do. On the other hand, I don't want people like Lohan behind the wheel of an automobile, intoxicated, on the streets that my tax dollars pay for, so I think Judge Revel is doing the right thing. I couldn't care less if Lohan is a celebrity.

[PaulRevere]

Why should this princess get off again with a slap on the wrist? You must be a liberal. If I were the judge I would have the state department verify the "lost" passport story and if it did not pan out I would throw her in jail for once again trying to make a mockery of the court system because she is a "celebrity" who believes she is above the common person!

[JVMFan]

Does the ankle bracelet have BLING?? "Issues" with Jane Velez-MItchell will be doing a special show on this tonight. Too funny!

[mrhinkydink]

Getting in trouble with the law isn't suppose to be convenient for the guilty.

[bob]

Silly, total overkill. Judges love the power they have to control other people.

[Sam]

She's a trainwreck waiting to happen.

[Shea]

I have to say I do not see anything wrong with judge making her stay in LA to take her drug test, I mean Lohan has already proven she can not keep dates or show up on time for hearings when she knew about the them weeks in advance. I really don't understand why this women has been offered so many opportunities to screw up, throw this reckless child in jail like the court system would have done any other regular person.

In short I am sick of this person being on my TV screen, on blogs and in the news for her reckless behavior and her getting a slap on the wrist.

Sadly, the average person would have been locked up on Friday.

[Mellow]

For all the Idiots yelling for jail time have you thought the just maybe jail is not the answer. Place her in a long term program with strict orders to comply and complete the program if that does not work then remand her to incarceration, not for the drug charge but for being to stupid to seek help for herself.

[OTIS]

Let her hit her bottom, she has at this point shown no willingness to to admit that she has a probblem, having wittnessed her go to mettings and text talk and be a disruption to those that are there to get better ,she would be much better served by getting the Brittny cut , hitting bottom and starting her life over with a little humble pie....!

[Paddy]

If she was abiding by the original ruling, gone to the classes and NOT gone to Cannes, none of these new restrictions would be in place.

She's just like a little toddler testing the limits.

It's nobody's fault but hers that she can't go to Texas to work. It's HER who is at fault, NOT the Judge. We must take the responsibility for our actions.

I applaud the judge for not backing down, celebrity or not.

[Photobart]

I am tired of this woman getting special treatment. Lohan does not respect the law or this judge. She belongs behind bars and about her Texes movie, her behavior decided that one. The production company should find a replacement. I don't know of any insurance company who would insure her for a movie. This all Lohan's fault.

[Evad the Slayer]

Really, who cares?
