The judge also ordered Lohan to spend 90 days in a drug and alcohol rehab programme after her jail term is completed. The actress must begin serving her sentence on July 20, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel said.

Lohan has apparently not missed a weekly counselling session since May 20, when Revel ruled that there was "probable cause to believe [Lohan] is in violation of probation" from a 2007 drunken driving conviction. Lohan was ordered not to drink alcohol and an electronic bracelet was fitted on her leg on May 24 to detect if she did. The SCRAM bracelet measured an alcohol level of 0.03 percent in the actress' body at midnight on June 7, but reported a zero reading four hours later, Revel said during Tuesday's hearing. The alert would be a bond violation, but not a probation violation, she said.
