Troubled Hollywood starlet Lindsay Lohan was taken in handcuffs from a Beverly Hills courtroom to start a 90-day jail term for violating parole after a drunk driving conviction. TV helicopters chased the police car taking the actress and model, who was dressed in jeans and black jacket, before she finally disappeared through the gates of the correctional facility at Lynwood, in the southern outskirts of Los Angeles. An "extremely cooperative" Lindsay Lohan was booked into Lynwood jail shortly after 10:00 am (1700 GMT) Tuesday, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore told reporters.
If Lindsay Lohan behaves herself in jail, she'll serve only about 14 days of her 90-day sentence."She is scheduled to be released on either Aug. 1 or 2 for overcrowding issues and good behavior," It's the long-standing policy of the L.A. County jail system to release nonviolent misdemeanor offenders early due to severe overcrowding. Lohan, 24, is serving her time alone in a 12-by-8 cell for violating probation in her DUI case.
