Lohan freed from LA jail after posting bail

Lindsay Lohan was freed from a suburban Los Angeles jail today, well short of the nearly month-long stay a judge had intended for the actress following a failed drug test.

Lohan was freed at about 11:40pm local time on Friday (7.40am Irish time) after posting $300,000 (€222,000) bail, said Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Steve Whitmore.
