LindsayLohan will serve one day in jail in her drunken-driving cases under the terms of a plea deal reached Thursday. Through her attorney, she pleaded guilty to some of the misdemeanor charges against her. Lohan did not attend the hearing in Beverly Hills.
Earlier in the day, she dodged felony charges, with prosecutors filing misdemeanor counts after tests found she possessed insufficient amounts of cocaine, authorities announced.
The actress was charged with seven counts, including two counts each of driving under the influence, driving with blood alcohol of over .08 percent, being under the influence of cocaine, as well as reckless driving, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office says.
By avoiding felony charges, Lohan faced a maximum penalty of days ? rather than years ? behind bars.
