| Lindsay Lohan back in Custody for Violating her Probation |

Lohan's legal problems started in 2007 when she was arrested twice for driving under the influence. She pleaded no contest and agreed to take alcohol education classes, but Lohan found herself back in court when prosecutors alleged she failed to attend the required amount of alcohol education sessions. Lohan believed she was in compliance with the terms of her probation, but in the end Superior Court Judge, Marsha N. Revel, sentenced the actress to 90 days in county jail. Lohan served 13 days in custody and was later released to a rehabilitation program where after 23 days she got out early. Under the terms of Lohan's probation, if she missed a drug test or got a positive result, she could face 30 days in jail.
Lohan admitted last week to failing a drug test, violating her probation. In today's mandatory hearing before Judge Elden Fox, Lohan was issued a bench warrant based on a probation report "indicating a positive test for a controlled substance." The judge said he needed more information from probation officials, before a revocation hearing could be held. He then ordered Lohan into custody without bail and set an October 22nd court date.
When you are accused of violating your probation, a hearing is scheduled where a judge will determine whether or not you have violated your probation. If it is determined that you were in violation of your probation then the probation may be revoked and you could be incarcerated for the remainder of the probation period.
