Lindsay Lohan Avoids Jail for Second Time in Two Weeks

Lindsay Lohan has narrowly avoided time behind bars -- again.
On Tuesday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel issued a bench warrant, claiming the actress, 23, was "in violation for conditions on bail" because 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.)

A short time later, Lohan's bondsman delivered the $20,000 BAIL -- 10% of the $200,000 bail -- saving the actress from spending any immediate time behind bars.
Lohan is due in court July 6 for a hearing.

Lohan's latest drama began Tuesday afternoon when District Attorney spokeswoman Jane Robison announced that the actress' SCRAM device was set off by "an alcohol-related violation" at the MTV bash. But in a series of Twitter messages, Lohan denied it, writing: "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."

It's the second arrest warrant issued for Lohan in the past two weeks. In May, a warrant was rescinded after the star put down $10,000 towards her $100,000 bail after she missed a progress review hearing (she claimed she was stuck in Cannes, France, because someone stole her passport). That previously paid bail was "forfeited" following Tuesday's emergency meeting, Judge Revel said.
Tell Us What You Think
56*** she need to change her WAYS
You kw all i hear is blah,blah,blah...the day she kills sumone is the day she will relize, MONEY isn't all, se needs to change her was, before it's to LATE!!!
I hate this girl.
Just goes to show that no matter what, money gets you out of everything. She gets to drink with a stupid alcohol detection bracelet on her leg, and get away with it. They may as well take it off her and let her drink herself to death, she's a lost cause
How many chances do the stars get...please excuses excuses...haul her butt to jail and maybe that will make her think
BLAH BLAH BLAH LINSEY IS AN ADDICT..YUK BOTOX ON HER LIPS CHEEKS & HER TIT-TS LOOKS LIKE SHE BREAST FEEDS ONE IS BIGGER THAN THE OTHER..WHITE TRASH!..SHE USE TO BE ALIVE NOW SHES INVISIBLE.
I have no doubt she will drink again, she lives with no consequences for what ever she does, it's all a game and she doesn't care.
She will be going to prison... NEVER .. LET her off on all charges judge we do not need the CRY WOLF..OH JAIL TIME NO REALITY CHECK BAIL AS ALWAYS..LINDSAY IS READY WITH THE CASH.. SO LET THE SCRAM GO OFF OR TAKE IT OFF
This is insane... PUT HER IN JAIL. So what if it was just a little bit of alcohol... you aren't supposed to have ANY. How hard is it to not touch alcohol if you know you could go to jail? She is an alcoholic FOR SURE! Plus she knew that no matter what she STILL wouldn't have to go to jail and if she does it'll be for like 24 hours... someone needs to throw her ass in jail for like a month or two.
She is an idiot!
Gee, if they keep this up California will be out of debt by the end of summer.
this girl is trash. of course she drank..why wouldn't she? there are never any consiquences for her actions. COME ON JUDGE...THROW THIS CRACK HEAD IN THE BIG HOUSE!
Who cares? Get a life.
Where's all the concerts, benefits, photos, visits from all our esteemed celebs. Oh, no photo ops with little babies or feel good moments to the press. They all disgust me. Can travel to Darfur, but won't go to a German airbase to cheer up the troops who are keeping their millionaire arsesses free. I am repulsed by Hollywood and their self indulgence.
lindsey lohan is making the da and judge look like jerks, she thinks she is above the law, who is she anyway? if this were a regular law abiding citizen in her position they would have been thrown in jail and thrown away the key.
This person needs to be in jail, until she's ordered into a rehab center. Not a plushy resort, but an inner-city program, so she can see where her life is heading. She's thumbing her nose at the court (I believe her attorney said there was 'just a little' alcohol in her system that set-off the SCRAM device), and this spoiled brat believes she is untouchable. The judge needs to stop dallying, and pull the rug out. Now.
This person is not a celebrity any more. She is a totally loser.
If this has been any one of us regular folk, our butts would have been thrown in jail. this girl is getting away with way too much. lindsay complained about the judge being too harsh on her. the judge wasn't harsh enough.
These celebrities get away with too much, her butt should be in jail, along with Charlie Sheens. They make a joke out of our legal system.
Oops, I meant "insistence on NOT changing her ways".
