TROUBLED actress Lindsay Lohan, fresh out of jail on charges of violating her probation, may be released early from a court-ordered stint in drug and alcohol rehabilitation, a prosecutor said yesterday.
Danette Meyers, who recently prosecuted Lohan for violating probation on drunken driving charges, told celebrity news website RadarOnline.com that the "Mean Girls" star may be able to avoid her full 90-day sentence in rehab.
"My understanding from conversations with Shawn Chapman Holley (Lohan's attorney) is that Miss Lohan could be released early from the treatmentfacility," Meyers told RadarOnline.com. "It is looking as if that (early release) is what the health care professionals are going to recommend."
Meyers said she was unsure exactly when Lohan might get out and that a release date would depend on recommendations from people treating the actress. The prosecutor further said that Lohan may have to undergo "follow up treatment."
Lohan, 24, rose to fame in Disney movies like "Freaky Friday," but began to see her career fall apart as Hollywood's nightlife caught up with her. In 2007, she was arrested for drunken driving and cocaine possession and served 84 minutes in jail along with being put on probation.
In July, a California judge sentenced Lohan to 90 days in jail and another 90 days in rehab for missingalcohol education classes imposed as part of her probation on the 2007 charges.
Her prison sentence was cut to 13 days due to overcrowding and on August 2, she left a jail to enter rehab at a facility at the University of California Los Angeles, where she is currently.
