Lohan gets jail sentence for probation violation

LOS ANGELES — A judge sentenced Lindsay Lohan to 120 days in jail on Friday for a probation violation after hearing evidence against the actress in a theft case.

Lohan's attorney, Shawn Holley, said she will appeal the ruling, which will allow the actress to post bail.

Sautner also ordered Lohan to serve more than 400 hours of community service, including 300 hours at a women's center.

The ruling came after Sautner reduced Lohan's grand theft case down to a misdemeanor and after prosecutors gave their case against the actress.

It will be Lohan's fourth jail stint.

Sautner refused to dismiss the theft case against Lohan, but said she often sees more serious cases that get reduced to lesser charges.

"I see the intent here," Sautner said. "I see a level of brazenness with 'Let me see what I can get away with here.'"

Sautner ruled that prosecutors had shown that Lohan violated her probation, but also said in reducing the charge that she was going to give the actress "an opportunity." Lohan entered a not guilty plea F
