The troubled actress could be headed to jail if judge rules against her on Tuesday. By Gil Kaufman Lindsay Lohan Photo: Scott Wintrow/ Getty Images Lindsay Lohan is due in court on Tuesday (July 6) for a probation revocation hearing that could land the once promising actress in jail again. According to The Associated Press, Lohan will appear before Judge Marsha Revel in a Beverly Hills, California, courtroom following the revocation of her probation in May, after she missed a scheduled hearing. The actress, who was traveling overseas at the time for the Cannes Film Festival, blamed her absence on a lost (or stolen) passport. While Lohan’s skipped court appearances and failure to comply with all of the terms of the sentence stemming from her 2007 DUI case have reportedly irritated the judge in the case, it’s possible the prosecutor could seek remedies other than additional jail time for the troubled 24-year-old starlet . The AP reported that Lohan could either be allowed to remain free, in which case she will likely begin work on her much-discussed biopic of porn star Linda Lovelace . Alternately, she could be ordered to jail, in which case she would be taken into custody immediately. It was not clear at press time what her potential sentence might be. Lohan was sentenced to three years probation in 2007 after pleading guilty to two misdemeanor counts of being under the influence of cocaine and no contest to two counts of driving with a blood-alcohol level above 0.08 percent and one count of reckless driving. The plea followed two widely reported arrests earlier that year. She spent a total of 84 minutes in jail in that case. Her probation was extended by a year in October after she failed to fully complete court-mandated alcohol-education classes. Lohan is currently sporting an alcohol-monitoring anklet Judge Revel ordered her to wear in May after she missed a court date due to the passport snafu; Revel also scheduled Tuesday’s hearing at that time to determine whether Lohan had violated her probation. TMZ reported that Lohan, in anticipation of Tuesday’s hearing, spent part of her Fourth of July weekend in alcohol-education classes in an effort to meet her class requirements. Lohan’s SCRAM bracelet was set off after the “Mean Girls” actress attended an MTV Movie Awards afterparty, which in turn prompted Revel issue a warrant for Lohan’s arrest and double her bail to $200,000 . But Lohan’s attorney downplayed the incident, saying her. client had not had a drink . Do you think this should be the last chance for Lindsay Lohan? Share your thoughts in the comments.
