— 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 Friday.
The Mean Girls star arrived at the courthouse wearing a black long-sleeve shirt, blue trousers and a scarf.
Lohan has been a courthouse fixture since last May when she missed a hearing in her drunken driving case. Since then, two judges have sent her to jail twice and rehab, also twice.
On Wednesday, Fiore Films announced it had cast the actress to play the wife of John Gotti Jr., the son of the infamous mob boss dubbed the “Teflon Don,” in a biopic of the family. The project, title, Gotti: Three Generations, is scheduled to begin shooting later this year in Lohan’s native New York.
In an interview with the AP, Lohan said she was eager to put her court cases behind her and once again be known as an actress.
“I’m really excited to be back on set and clear up all the misinterpretations about me and show this is what I love to do,” Lohan said.
“I think in the past, I had a lot of distractions,” she said. “I’ve learned a lot. I’ve lived a lot. When I’m on set, it’s about the film.”
