Prosecution demands jail for Lohan

Prosecutors will demand time in jail for actress Lindsay Lohan after arguing that she is in violation of her probation in a theft case.

Los Angeles City Attorney’s spokesman Frank Mateljan said the recommendation to be made in court today is based on Lohan’s departure from a women’s shelter where she had been doing community service.

Lohan spokesman Steve Honig declined comment.

Lohan is due in court today to update a judge on her probation progress.

A city prosecutor is overseeing Lohan’s probation in the misdemeanour theft case filed after the actress was charged with taking a $2,500 necklace without permission. Lohan pleaded no contest in May.

The 25-year-old actress is now trying to complete the majority of her service with the American Red Cross.
