Lindsay Lohan Scram

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Lindsay Lohan's
alcohol-monitoring bracelet got her in
trouble Tuesday with a judge who doubled
the actress' bail to $200,000.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Marsha
Revel determined Lohan violated the terms
of her release after a closed-door meeting
with the actress' attorney and a prosecutor.
Revel did not detail the violation, but said
her decision was made after receiving
"results" issued by a court-ordered alcohol
monitor.
District Attorney's spokeswoman Shiara
Davila-Morales said it was an "alcohol-
related violation," but did not have further
details.
A source familiar with Lohan's case told The
Associated Press that the violation was
reported after the "Mean Girls" star
appeared at the MTV Movie Awards on
Sunday night.
Lohan was not present in court Tuesday,
but several denials of wrongdoing were
posted on the actress' Twitter account
shortly before and after the hastily called
hearing.
Lohan's $200,000 bail was posted less than
two hours after the hearing, a move that
quashed a bench warrant issued for the
actress' arrest by the judge.
Lohan's attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley,
issued a statement Tuesday, saying the
device indicated the "presence of a small
amount of alcohol" on 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," Chapman Holley said in a statement.
Lohan has been required to wear the device
since May, when she missed a court
hearing. Lohan is due back in court on July
6, when Revel will decide whether Lohan
has violated her probation.

Lohan, 23, is facing jail time if the judge
determines she has failed to comply with
the terms of her probation.
The actress has received multiple chances
and admonishments from the court, which
extended her probation in October by a
year after Lohan struggled to complete the
terms in time.
At the May hearing, Revel set Lohan's bail at
$100,000, which she revoked on Tuesday.
The judge also issued a bench warrant for
Lohan's arrest, but that may be quashed if
the actress is able to post the new bail
amount.
David Perez, a bail bondsman, posted
Lohan's $100,000 bail last month and said
he was not concerned with posting the
additional sum ordered Tuesday.
Authorities said they did not have
additional details on what Lohan's alcohol-
monitor registered in order to be found in
violation.
The bracelet is designed to test the skin for
alcohol every half hour by sampling a
person's perspiration. There are also
sensors that check for tampering.
Lohan appeared at the MTV awards show
on Sunday. She also attended at least one of
the show's after-parties.
She covered up the ankle monitor on the
show's red carpet by wearing long pants.
The actress has been on probation since
August 2007 after pleading guilty to
misdemeanor drug charges and no contest
to three driving charges.
Despite spending 84 minutes in jail and
performing mandatory service at the
county morgue, Lohan has repeatedly
struggled with the terms of her sentence. In
October, a judge extended her probation
for another year but Meyers warned the
actress she was facing jail time if she
violated her probation.
The extension was the third time Lohan
escaped punishment after her alcohol-
education program notified the court the
actress had violated its rules. Two of the
instances were described as
misunderstandings; the third was chalked
up to a busy work schedule.
Chapman Holley said Lohan missed the
hearing last month because her passport
had been stolen while the actress was at the
Cannes Film Festival.
