Lindsay Lohan due in court after skipping hearing
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Lindsay Lohan faces admonishment from a judge at a hearing Monday in Beverly Hills.
Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel issued a warrant for Lohan’s arrest after the 23-year-old actress skipped a mandatory court appearance last week.
Revel also ordered that the star abstain from alcohol, wear an alcohol-monitoring bracelet and submit to random weekly drug testing.
Lohan avoided arrest by posting $100,000 bail, but still faces the other conditions imposed by the judge.
The actress was due in court last week for a progress report on her probation stemming from two arrests in 2007. Revel said there is probable cause to believe that Lohan violated the terms of her probation. A formal hearing will be held to determine if she is in compliance with the court’s conditions.
