Lindsay Lohan is back in the hotseat after being 20 minutes late for her community service this morning, and the troubled actress claimed that she couldn’t find the entrance to the morgue where she was supposed to serve.
Lindsay’s rep, Steve Honig: “Lindsay arrived at the morgue approximately 20 minutes late and will be returning for orientation tomorrow. Her lateness was due to a combination of not knowing what entrance to go through and confusion caused by the media waiting for her arrival. Lindsay spoke with the supervisors at the morgue, they showed her how to get in and everything is all cleared up.”
Lindsay: “With all of the stress and pressure from yesterday and today, I’ve never been so happy to go to therapy!!!! Also, I’m sorry for the confusion that I may of caused to those at the Coroner’s office. Won’t happen again, now I know where to go! Thank you for your help.”
Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said Lindsay’s a big fat liar because she’s been to the morgue before and knows exactly where the entrance is.
Ed spoke to reporters outside the morgue on Thursday morning and said there’s no way Lindsay couldn’t find the entrance, because she’s been to the Coroner’s office in the past.
Lindsay Lohan was scheduled to show up at the morgue this morning at 8:00 am to serve her community service. At 7:40, Lindsay’s assistant called the morgue – and said they were 10 minutes away. ONE HOUR LATER, Lindsay arrived (8:40am), and she was immediately turned away.
Lindsay’s publicist, who says she arrived approximately 20 minutes late, and her tardiness was due to “a combination of not knowing what entrance to go through and confusion caused by the media waiting for her arrival.” The publicist says Lindsay spoke with supervisors at the morgue, they showed her how to get in tomorrow so things are now OK.
Lindsay just tweeted: “With all of the stress and pressure from yesterday and today, I’ve never been so happy to go to therapy!!!! Also, I’m sorry for the confusion that I may of caused to those at the Coroner’s office. Won’t happen again, now I know where to go! Thank you for your help.”
I don’t buy that she couldn’t figure out how to get into the morgue. That’s ridiculous. If that were the case, Lindsay’s assistant would have called once they arrived – and said “Hey, we’re here – but we can’t figure out where to come in.” To think that she spent 40 minutes trying to get into the place is ridiculous.
I’m starting to really think Lindsay Lohan MUST have some serious mental health problems.
Lindsay Lohan went before a judge only yesterday and was found guilty of violating her probation. The judge came down on Lindsay pretty hard, and ordered Lindsay to report this morning for community service at the city morgue.
Guess what!? Lindsay didn’t show!!! At 8:45am – just about half an hour ago, Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter told reporters Lindsay was a no-show on her first day — and now, she’ll have to face the judge’s wrath.
Lindsay Lohan is going to be turned away from the L.A. County Morgue today, because she was late.
Sources at the morgue tell TMZ … Lindsay was scheduled to be at the morgue at 8 AM. At 7:40, Lindsay’s assistant called to say they were 10 minutes away. By 8:20, she was still a no-show.
So officials at the Coroner’s Office have decided if Lindsay eventually shows up they will turn her away.
And it gets way worse for Lindsay. We’re told the Coroner’s Office will notify Probation’s Volunteer Center — which monitors her probation — that Lindsay screwed up again, and the judge will then be notified.
It’s not a violation for her not to show today … the judge only required that Lindsay put in 16 hours at the morgue by Nov 2. But it’s awful for Lindsay and her lawyer, who will try to convince the judge that she’s not thumbing her nose at authority.
Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay. I read yesterday that a particular “expert” said she’s a habitual criminal who cannot be rehabilitated. I’m starting to think he is right!
Lindsay Lohan has another mugshot to add to her collection!
Lindsay smiled for the Los Angeles police officers yesterday when she took her FIFTH mugshot after her probation was revoked. According to Judge Stephanie Saunter, Lindsay didn’t follow the court’s orders to serve community service at a women’s shelter.
This just in!! Lindsay Lohan got the book thrown at her in court this morning!! Judge Stephanie Sautner has decided to revoke Lindsay’s probation – and had her cuffed on the spot! She set a new hearing for November 2, when Lindsay could end up getting as much as a year and a half in jail!!
Judge Sautner said Lindsay Lohan was completely responsible for being thrown out of the Downtown Women’s Center, where the judge told her she must complete probation.
The judge concluded Lindsay violated her probation, scoffing time after time, incredulously reading from the Probation Report — the section where Lindsay told the Probation officer she didn’t find the Women’s Center “fulfilling.”
The Judge also doubted Lindsay attended sessions with her shrink once a week, as the Judge required.
The judge dismissed Shawn Holley’s argument that Lindsay had to leave town to work, and that’s why she missed a number of community service appointments, saying, “She’s supposed to be an actress, from what I hear.”
Judge Sautner recalled all the screw ups Lindsay has had in her court cases, reminding Holley that “Probation is a Gift.”
As we reported, Lindsay’s bail bondsman appeared in court and will be bailing her out shortly.
The judge could barely contain her contempt for the Probation Dept., which gave Lindsay a glowing report. Judge Sautner said the Probation Dept. had no authority to send Lindsay to the Red Cross to do her community service and said Lindsay would not get credit for the time she served there.
Before Lindsay was taken away in cuffs, the judge said Lindsay must complete 16 hours at the morgue before the November 2 hearing.
Although Lindsay could get sentenced to nearly a year and a half in jail, a frustrated Judge Sautner noted new laws and overcrowding would make such a sentence unlikely.
Lindsay Lohan has caught another break (of course she has). When she goes before the judge this morning, she’ll have the Probate Department on her side. According to TMZ, they do not believe she should be thrown in jail.
The Probation Officials will tell the judge in a written report that Lindsay is in “substantial compliance” with the terms of her probation. They do admit that she was kicked out of the Downtown Women’s Center for failing to show up, but they point out that Lindsay has a year to complete her 360 hours of community service.
They will also report that Lindsay has been in touch with her shrink, and has gone “regularly”.
Judge Sautner made it clear … if Lindsay violated any court order, she would go to jail. So now it’s up to Herhonner to decide if Lindsay went astray or whether a few missteps don’t count.
Good news for Lindsay?
The judge who could end up sending her to jail has decided she doesn’t have to do any community service, at least for now.
Bad News for Lindsay Lohan: She’ll be sweeping up blood and guts at the L.A. County Morgue.
Sources connected with the Probation Department tell TMZ … Judge Stephanie Sautner contacted Probation officials and told them to immediately yank Lindsay from her current community service assignment with the Red Cross. We’re told Judge Sautner ordered the Probation people to immediately assign Lindsay to morgue duty.
It’s clearly a sign the judge is pissed off — probably at the Probation Dept. for pulling a switcheroo by taking Lindsay out of the Downtown Women’s Center, where the judge ordered Lindsay to perform 360 hours of community service. Judge Sautner also ordered Lindsay to do 120 hours at the morgue, and now that’s taken top billing.
As for pissing off the judge, we’ve learned there’s something in the Probation report that will probably do just that. Lindsay’s probation officer wrote that Lindsay had problems with the Women’s Center, because it was “not fulfilling.” One more time — Lindsay complained the Woman’s Center was “NOT FULFILLING.”
