Lindsay Lohan is about to be in a situation that is all too familiar to her.On Friday, the troubled starlet must appear in court for a Beverly Hills judge to decide whether she'll be sent back to Lynwood's Century Regional Detention Facility – for a third time.
After receiving word Monday that Lohan flunked a drug test, Beverly Hills Superior Court Judge Elden Fox revoked her probation and issued a no-bail bench warrant, requiring the actress to show up to the court hearing in person or face arrest.
"She's scared she might have to go back to jail," a source told People.com. "This is a wake-up call for her in a way. In the past, she dismissed everything, never took it seriously and now she's like 'Oh [expletive], something bad could happen.' "LiLo is back in hot water after testing positive for cocaine at a random drug screening two weeks ago, a source told the Daily News. She also flunked a second random test with amphetamines in her system, according to TMZ.com.
Legal experts have told the News that the 24-year-old is almost certainly going back to jail, however probably won't have to serve the full 30 days she's expected to get slapped with on Friday. Factoring in good behavior and jail overcrowding, Lohan could complete a 30-day sentence in about five days, multiple sources agreed.
She recently spent 14 days in jail and 23 days in rehab after missing court-mandated alcohol counseling classes stemming from her back-to-back DUIs in 2007.
Though the actress is afraid she'll end up behind bars again, a source told People that a third stay at the all-female-inmate facility could be exactly what she needs.
"Her true friends are actually happy this is happening," the source said. "They never knew what it would take for Lindsay to listen. This might be it. But still, the attitude of some of her friends is, 'Oh no, not again.' It never ends with her."
