Judge imposes new conditions for Lindsay Lohan

By Alan Duke, CNN


Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge outlined new bail conditions for Lindsay Lohan at a hearing Monday, including a bracelet to detect alcohol, a ban on drinking and random weekly drug testing.
Lohan walked into the Beverly Hills courtroom 11 minutes late Monday morning to find a stern-faced Judge Marsha Revel counting the minutes.
The judge's mood was a sharp contrast to her joking with reporters in October as she waited two hours for the 23-year-old actress to show up for a hearing.
Revel delayed a planned vacation so she could preside over Monday's hearing, made necessary by Lohan's failure to appear as ordered Thursday.
Lohan's face showed visible stress after Revel ordered her to stay in the Los Angeles area until a probation revocation hearing on July 6 so she can submit to random drug tests.
Random drug testing was ordered because of previous evidence that Lohan was under the influence of cocaine, Revel said last week.
When defense lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley said the SCRAM ankle bracelet and drug tests would interfere with a movie shoot Lohan has in Texas next month, Revel said that work must be delayed.
"It's going to be drug testing here," meaning in California, Revel said.
Lohan must also attend all of her weekly alcohol classes, unless the class interferes with her random drug tests, Revel said.
Revel said Lohan had the option of challenging the conditions, but after conferring with her client, Holley said she would accept them.
It was Lohan's alleged failure to attend those classes, ordered after a 2007 drunken driving conviction, that landed her back in court this month. Link
