Lohan gets a bracelet, this time for her ankle

LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan was fitted with an ankle bracelet Thursday at the start of 35 days of home detention as part of a plea deal over her alleged theft of a $2,500 necklace, police said.

The 24-year-old was sentenced last month to 120 days in jail for violating probation and ordered to complete community service, but was allowed to serve her sentence at home after pleading no contest to the theft charge.

She was booked at 5:00 am Thursday at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, south of Los Angeles and fitted with the electronic monitoring device, the LA County Sheriff's Department said.

"Ms. Lohan will be under the supervision of the sheriff's department and her release date is expected to be around June 29," said spokesman Steve Whitmore, adding: "She will serve about 35 days on home detention."

She was also ordered to do 480 hours of community service last month, including 100 at the LA County morgue.

Lohan must also stay at least 100 yards away from the jewelry store where the alleged theft took place, near her home in the upmarket Venice district, undergo counseling and complete a course for shoplifters.
