Lindsay Lohan was released after serving only a few hours of her 30 day sentence at a Los Angeles county jail.
The L.A. County Sheriff’s Department confirmed early Monday that the 25-year-old starlet was released. Gossip website TMZ.com reported that Lohan was released at approximately 1:30 a.m. PT Monday.
A booking report on the L.A. County Sheriff’s website showed that she was booked into jail at 8:58 p.m. PT Sunday night at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California.
That police report indicated that Lohan would not be released for over one week, on November 16.
Lohan was sentenced to 300 days in jail last week for violating her probation. At her November 2 sentencing Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Stephanie Saunter told Lohan that if she obeys her orders she’ll only be behind bars for 30 days at maximum.
After release from jail, Lohan will have to adhere to a strict schedule of 12 to 17 days of community service per month and four to six sessions of psychotherapy per month if she is to avoid serving the remainder of her 270 days behind bars. If Lohan can complete this by March 29 — and not violate the law in any other way — she’ll be able to put her probations from her 2007 DUI and her 2011 shoplifting case behind her.

So, the judge told her she would be in jail for ~30 days of the 300-day sentence, which later was reported would only be 1 week and eventually ended up being less than 5 hours??? What gives? Why was she there only 4 1/2 hours? This semblance of a news story doesn’t even give a reason.

I’m tired of these pampered, “entitled” actors getting away with flaunting the law. You or I would be getting 3 squares for 30 days had we snubbed the law. 30 days would have given her time to think and to get clean. Not to worry she’ll mess up again. Her entitled DNA can’t help itself!!

Who gives a s*** about her? Want to do crime, come to CA, little or no jail time.

Why is it that the actors and actresses can get away with murder and dui and mostly anything??? What are we teaching our children.. Its ok for the actors to steal and kill but not ok for anyone else.. Everyone should be treated equally. who cares if they are actors and what the hell makes them special and above the law…She sould have been n jail along time ago..

With great justification, Lohan does not believe that laws apply to her. And I do not blame her. Until she serves meaningful jail time, she never will. The true villians in this piece are the legal “pros” that let her off so lightly time after time.

Does she still have a mother?

Why don’t they keep her in jail and let her do her time? If there is over crowding then let someone else out who has served their time. Sounds fair to me.

Wish they would quit giving these so called celebs such an easy time…if this was an everyday person they would have had to at least serve the 30 days, but no she only gets a few hours….at this rate she knows she can take advantage of the system, and she will never learn from her mistakes…she did the crime she needs to do the time just like everyone else.

I’d lay heavy odds she won’t make it…

RACIST GARBAGE! In Calif a minority who is a cracked addicted street walker will get the book thrown at them but this TRASH is always treated like a queen just as all the other HOLLYWOOD SCUM are.

California is a joke!! So is the Judge thats over her

Linday Lohan is so annoying, they don’t even want to keep her in jail. For the love of God Lindsay, JUST GO!!!!!!!!!!!

As enamored as I am with LL, even I’m thinking this is messed up. She’s never going to learn and the California legal system has become a joke.

I agree with what everyone else has said. No wonder she keeps breaking the law– she has never had to face any real punishment for it. And as far as overcrowding, there has to be room for one more person in all the jails in California!

Notice the smirk on her face, and it’s not without good reason. She knows perfectly well that no matter what the judge says or does, they will not keep her in jail for more than an hour or two. It shouldn’t be surprising that she goes right back to doing what she’s doing. What else do you expect? She gets publicity this way. It worked for Martha Stewart. “We really really mean it this time!”
Sure you do.

Another sham sentence for the blue eyed, blond haired Hollywood crimminal. lol

Elitism. Why did they bother arresting her in the first place? She’ll probably get a big dollar movie deal out of it.

This is absolutly nuts!!!!! She can’t go by the rules so why only 4 hrs of jail time she was surpose to serve a min of 30days!!!! I dont give a crap how croweded it is in jail!!!!! She did the crime let her serve her time!!!!!!
Posted by: csimmons | November 7, 2011, 12:26 pm 12:26 pm
so, put her in with the rest of the inmates
Posted by: bipar | November 7, 2011, 12:38 pm 12:38 pm
Ok….. Um, how did she get out of this one? Really, which part of California law made it possible for her to be released after just hours? I don’t understand.
Posted by: Thoughtyouknew | November 7, 2011, 12:39 pm 12:39 pm
Was she released early for overcrowding? That’s a crock, because I guarantee, someone will go to court today, and go directly to jail.
Posted by: Thoughtyouknew | November 7, 2011, 12:43 pm 12:43 pm
Five hours of a 300 day sentence? Yeah, that’ll teach her!

Now explain to me why this “mandatory” community service is any different that the last five times? Also I find it interesting that Kiefer Sutherland served his time and Robert Downy Jr. served his time but the jails are always too crowded for Lindsay. Do more women commit crimes in CA than men or can she really play the “helpless blond” card that many times? In 2 weeks or 2 months or however long it takes for her to get caught flubbing this comm. service as well, will she have to serve 10 hours of a 600 day sentence or does everyone just give up?

It’s funny how there’s always room for the ones who make it too crowded for her to stay.

I wonder what she did for the judge to get that arrangement!
Posted by: s | November 7, 2011, 3:03 pm 3:03 pm
She needs to be euthanized. How much tax money has been wasted on her court appearances? “Miss Lohan, you have been found guilty on fourteen counts of first degree murder. I sentence you to 20 hours of community service, unless you don’t feel like you really want to do it. Either way, have a nice day and see you next week!”

Well, maybe her and Charlie (Winning) Sheen can hook up. Seems they both ahve plenty of time and money these day!!! SO NOT news ABC!!
