In a statement Tuesday, Lindsay Lohan's lawyer said the actress' SCRAM device indicated the "presence of a small amount of alcohol" Sunday night.
"Having just received the report, I am not in a position to speak to its accuracy or validity, however Ms. Lohan maintains that she has been in complete compliance with all of the terms of her probation and her bail," attorney Shawn Chapman Holley said in the statement.

The statement comes after Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel issued a bench warrant late Tuesday, claiming the actress, 23, was "in violation for conditions on bail" after her SCRAM bracelet went off at an MTV Movie Awards after-party. (Lohan was ordered to wear the alcohol-monitoring bracelet last month following a failed court appearance in connection to her two DUI convictions.)

Lohan managed to escape any immediate time behind bars Tuesday because her bondsman paid her $20,000 bail.
She is due in court July 6.
In a series of Twitter messages (rife with misspellings and grammatical errors), Lohan has denied any wrongdoing: "I did not violate anything ... at all ... My scram wasn't set off Its physically impossible ... I've been more than I'm compliance [sic] & feeling great."
Tell Us What You Think
41What an idiot...what does "I've been more than I'm compliance [sic]"? mean? If an average person...or below like me LOL, had this happen I bet I'd be in jail. She's been busted for coke, had DUI's, ignored court dates so she can party and yet her mom still says she is being treated unfairly. Shouldn't even have the scram bracelet. She is a a major idiot. pity lindsay
If I was there I would have thrown a whole drink on her leg for her to go to jail! She is sooo annoying!! Put her in jail for a little bit!! It will be good for everyone including herself!!
Somehow "a small amount" of anything together with Lindsay Lohan sounds kind of impossible. She's more like the type who would say, "Well, since I've already blown it ...." She's only 23 years old but for some reason seems older.
This girl needs to get her life together. Maybe she should read the new book "The Killing of Anna Nicole Smith". It might show her where her life is going.
fuc.k this lost cause bit.ch, she should leave hollywood and take her chainsmoking dumb a$$ to a local hick town walmart and apply...The End, o and take Tara Reid too.
If this a regular person, she would have been in jail by now. This special treatment is for the birds. PUT HER IN JAIL!!!!
i am so sick of this girl messing up and dey only givin her warnings...throw her ass in jail fa 6 months and see wat she thinks bout dat...all she doin is laughin in da judges face wit her gettin off so easy...
She's a waste! Put her in jail for a year!
NO alcohal, this stupid jack ass lindsay can't & doesn't wanna understand the word NO, NO!! Her idiot attorney who IS gettin' plenty of $$$$ that ole lindsay doesn't have :-) says it was a small amount, tell the WONDERFUL Judge & FABULOUS D.A., Ms. Meyers that it was "a thumble full"!!!!!!!!!!!! Send her to a Peru prison!!!!!!!!!!
She's a stupid addict. She'll only learn after she's hit rock bottom.
20,000 DOLLARS is the deposit on the bail of 200,000.00
Of course she is going to deny it but I'll bet she did think she would get away with just a sip or two.
From the looks of her tweet, she was drunk when she wrote that statement!
CHANGE THE JUDGE TO A OLDER MALE JUDGE Have you ever noticed it is the same judge every time..change the judge..!!
20,000 IS A DEPOSIT OF THE BAIL DEAR MOLLY
Even if it was only a small amount, isn't that breaking probation rules of NO acohol? Throw her in jail, any normal person wouldn't have had as many chances has she has had. Maybe that would actually make her grow up! Lord knows her parents aren't helping her.
It is typical of addicts to lie to themselves and others - and believe it.
Just lock her up and throw away the key already. You can't help someone that doesn't want to help themselves, she'll surely learn in jail, that is if they don't give her special treatment, actually make her serve the damn time like a normal citizen.
You mean her $200,000, not $20,000.
What a joke!! If it was anyone of us we'd be in jail! A violation is a violation. Apparently those rules only apply to people like us who can not pay their way through all their mistakes. She has a problem not only with drugs and alcohol but also with being told no. Throw her in jail, get her rehab, or something.
