Lohan to spend day in jail

Lindsay Lohan will serve a day in jail after reaching a plea deal tonight on drunken driving and cocaine charges.

The deal on the misdemeanour charges also call for the 21-year-old actress to serve 10 days’ community service and complete a drug treatment programme.

“She’s getting what everyone else would get,” deputy district attorney Danette Meyers said after an hour-long hearing.

Lohan was charged earlier today with seven offences stemming from two drunken-driving arrests in the last four months.

More serious drug charges were not filed, prosecutors said, because tests showed there was not enough cocaine on her to warrant them.

Police found cocaine on Lohan during the arrests on May 26 in Beverly Hills and July 24 in Santa Monica.
