LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Troubled US starlet Lindsay Lohan is due back in court Thursday for breaching probation after failing an alcohol test while already on home detention, officials and reports said.
A court hearing will determine if Lohan, currently serving 35 days of home custody with an electronic ankle bracelet, breached the terms of her probation for a 2007 drunk driving incident, the LA District Attorney's office said.
DA office spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said she did not know the exact nature of the alleged violation, but the TMZ celebrity news website said it was because Lohan tested positive for alcohol in the past week.
TMZ said one of two tests on Lohan was conducted shortly after she hosted a rooftop barbecue, and the website cited sources as saying that LA County Probation Department officials will ask Thursday that she be sent to jail.
Lohan's publicist Steve Honig, when asked whether she had been summoned to court, replied: "I'm neither going to confirm nor deny."
The 24-year-old began her home detention on May 26 as part of a plea bargain over the alleged theft of a $2,500 necklace from a jewelry shop near her home in Venice Beach.
Lohan had already spent a few hours in jail in April, after a judge ruled that she had violated her probation for a 2007 drug and drunk driving offense, when she allegedly stole the necklace on January 22.
It is the latest in a long list of legal tangles for Lohan -- once the promising child star of hit Disney movies "The Parent Trap" and "Freaky Friday" -- who has a reputation for hard partying.
In July of last year Lohan was sentenced to 90 days in jail and another 90 days in rehab for violating her probation in a drunk driving case, but served just 13 days due to prison overcrowding.
She was jailed again in September, but was granted bail after only 15 hours behind bars and subsequently checked into rehab for drug addiction, a course she completed in January.
In 2007, she spent just 84 minutes in jail after police arrested her twice for cocaine possession while driving -- in one instance she crashed her Mercedes-Benz into a tree.

Guess what guys, they say she didn't violate her probation because the previous judge did not enforce or require mandatory drug and alcohol tests..So she can drink all she wants while on home confinement!!! What a justice system we have.....
This chick needs to be locked up. She's had more than enough chances to straighten up and never learned her lesson.
Why are they playing her head games. Pack her spoiled behind to jail, and I mean real jail too, not isolation or special privilege.
@ Brice AMEN.........I co-sign that FOR REAL!!!
Excuse my French... but this bit##! How many second chances does one need? Lock her up, throw away the key and quit giving this **** the time of day. She clearly thinks she can do whatever she wants, so let her *** do just that in prison. I'll pay taxes for that!
I guess some innocent person has to lose their life at the hands of this ungrateful idiot before she finally learns her lesson...What a shame!!!
