Lindsay Lohan To Do One Day In Jail.... Paris Is Pissed

Lindsay Lohan has pled no contest to misdemeanor charges, and will serve 1 day in jail.

Today, Lindsay Lohan pled "no contest" to the following charges - in total, 7 misdemeanor charges were laid for the two separate arrests:

* cocaine possession (misdemeanor drug possession)
* driving with a blood alcohol level over the limit of .08 percent
* being under the influence of cocaine
* reckless driving

A no contest plea is neither an admission of guilt, nor a denial. Two counts of driving under the influence were dropped in the plea agreement.

Lindsay Lohan was not charged with any felony charges. Although Lindsay possessed cocaine on both arrests, the amounts were below the .05 grams required for felony charges. The DA considered Lindsay Lohan to be struggling under her addiction - hence the two very close arrests - but her immediate check-ins to rehab helped as well. Lindsay Lohan’s unstable family condition was a factor as well.

Lindsay Lohan was sentenced to 4 days in jail on the charges, but the judge ordered the sentence reduced to two days in exchange for 10 days of community service. Lindsay Lohan was given a day credit for time already spent in jail. Therefore, her sentence is:

* 1 day in jail (to be served before January 18)
* 10 days of community service
* attend 18 months of alcohol education program
* attend a drug program
* stay at Cirque Lodge for rehab for an unspecified amount of time
* 3 years of probation

According to the way the ruling works, Lindsay Lohan will spend less than 24 hours in jail. She can enter the jail late at night (before midnight), and leave early the next morning, as that counts as a "day."

Lindsay Lohan’s attorneys met with the LA County Deputy District Attorney today for an hour to enter the please. The District Attorney says that Lindsay Lohan did not receive special consideration as a celebrity.
