Bench warrant issued for Lindsay Lohan, probation revoked

A bench warrant has been issued for Lindsay Lohan after she tested positive for drugs, but court officials said she won't be taken into custody until at least Friday after a court hearing.

Beverly Hills Superior Court Judge Eldon Fox will decide at that time whether Lohan violated her probation and should be sent back to jail or back into locked-down drug rehab. The L.A. County Probation Department delivered its report on the alleged violation to Fox -- and her probation was revoked.

Lohan admitted on her Twitter feed that she failed the test. "Regrettably, I did in fact fail my most recent drug test and if I am asked, I am prepared to appear before judge Fox next week as a result," she wrote. "This was certainly a setback for me but I am taking responsibility for my actions and I'm prepared to face the consequences."

Lohan spent part of the summer in an L.A. County jail in Lynwood after repeatedly violating the terms of her probation on a drunk-driving charge. She was released from a rehab center a few weeks ago.

Under the terms of her sentence, if she misses a test or gets a positive result, she would face 30 days in jail.

Lohan continues to undergo intense therapy and counseling since her release from a UCLA rehab facility. She is on supervised probation in connection with her 2007 conviction for driving under the influence.

As part of her plea arrangement, she must take random drug tests twice a week. After her most recent stint in jail, Lohan had said she was trying to get back to acting.

She told Vanity Fair that her jail stint taught her that she needed to stop surrounding herself with people who lure her into trouble.

"So many people around me would say they cared for the wrong reasons," she told the magazine. "A lot of people were pulling from me, taking from me and not giving. I had a lot of people that were there for me for, you know, the party."

Lock her and Paris up and throw away the key. It's for their own good.

[A. Travis]

Please put her in prison, in general population and leave her there for a year or two.

If the media would quit following and publicizing her every move, than and only then she could disappear from society and just become another obscure little known drug addict. Her fame would die and the Hollywood crowd would find another "character" to follow!

enough of this. Either let her get her way and she can call it a win, or lock her up for a long enough time to make a point. Its costing gobs and gobs of money to play her game. the game she is playing is called " I am starving for attention and whether its good or bad attention is just fine by me".

Please make this go away.

Yay!! Lindsay Does Lynwood II! Guess it must've been fun last time!

[Jess]

All jokes aside(and I've zinged my fair share toward Lindsey)she's in a life or death struggle with drug/alcohol addiction and there's nothing funny about that. I know she only has her spoiled, rich, celebrity self to blame yadda yadda but at some point you realize she has a major problem and start to feel compassion for her. Or anybody struggling with that disease, for that matter. Wish her the best in her recovery, hope she gets well and REALLY hope she isn't the latest Hollywood starlet to die way too young at the hands of addiction.

It's obvious Linds didn't get it the first time. Lock her up!! She's nothing but a menace!!

[karen stine]

[thecanimalshusband]

Why are they picking on Lindsay and Paris Hilton? This is what 8 years of Bush has done to our nation.

[Tommy]

First!

[eric]

i still dont know why you have to take drug tests because you got a drunk driving conviction. Ton of money wasted on this.

[christopher]

"Lohan spent part of the summer in an L.A. County jail in Lynwood."

14 days to be exact.

[Joe G. Jones]

Of course she took "full responsiblity" for testing positive for drugs . . . she got caught! If she hadn't been caught, she wouldn't be willing to go into any kind of "program" on her own. We need to stop glorifying this decadent waste of bare talent and she needs to be punished for breaking the law. California quit trying to rehab criminals a long time ago, but if you have the money to hire a good attorney, etc., the courts bend over backwards to go along. I think this court just had it's back broken?

[Joey Shmoltz]

Such a lucky young person...such a tragedy. Sadly, she'll probably end up in the Obit's soon! There are so many great things that she could be doing for so many needy people but, sadly, many of "this" generation are all about "me, me, me"...and it's such a waste. It's not "ALL" about you, young lady. Selfless is better than selfish! Good luck...I'm hoping you find the way!

[An American]

...some people never learn, and to think this "celebrity" is special that she get's preferential treatment. Unreal.

[ghostfear]

Please ignore the law and punish her for public opinion?

[Dr. Vision]

Give the Judge a SILLY WRIST BAND.

Lindsy is a known party girl, (she has respect!)

She'll slow down in time...

The courts need to focus on other matters.

[pamela graf]

what is wrong with lindsay lohan and paris hilton? they need help. we will read in the papers some day that one of them died. you can not live that life style for long. where are the parents and are they helping their daughters.

[Mindy]

Jail time then mandatory drug treatment in a residential facility. Put her in a SAP yard in prison. Then let her spend her treatment in a facility with other convicted felons. I have worked there and she will get what she needs and if not what she deserves.

[cdav]

who cares about this. there has to be some better, more important worthwhile news out there other than what this chick is doing. WHO CARES!

[Al]

Lohan and Hilton make a mockery of the justice system. If these were just 2 ordinary women, they would be doing some serious jail time.

[Xada]

"Regrettably" She only regrets that she got caught again.

[Richard]
