Judge sentences Lindsay Lohan to jail for 30 days

Lohan was terminated from the shelter program after failing to show up nine times at the center. She told her probation officer the assignment was not fulfilling, according to the actress’ probation report.

The actress’ morgue service has not been without drama. She was turned away the first day after showing up 40 minutes late but has shown up early several times since then. Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter declined Tuesday to characterize how Lohan’s service was progressing.

The former Disney star has been sent to jail, rehab, counseling and community service numerous times since being arrested twice for drunken driving in 2007.

Her probation on that case is nearly over, but her release remains supervised after Lohan pleaded no contest in May to misdemeanor theft for taking a $2,500 necklace without permission in January.

Once a headlining actress, Lohan’s court and personal troubles have overshadowed her career for years.
