Lindsay Lohan leaves a courthouse.

Shortly after starting her community service at a women’s shelter in Los Angeles, Lohan failed an at-home alcohol test, sending her back to court. From June 23 to October 20, 2011, Lohan was constantly in and out of court due to various violations of her probation and community service terms.

On Nov. 2, 2011, a judge ordered that Lohan would serve a 30-day jail sentence for violating her probation by failing to show up for her community service duties. However, five days later, Lohan is released from jail hours after being booked. 

After the latest stint in jail, Lohan started to meet her probation requirements and regularly attended community service and counseling services. By March 29, 2012, Lohan completed her probation, though she remains on unsupervised probation related to the theft charge.

On Sept. 19, 2012, police arrested the “Mean Girls” star for a hit-and-run incident after she hit a man with her vehicle outside of a New York hotel. However, formal charges were never filed and the star escaped further punishment, according to E! Online.

A judge sentenced Lohan to a three-month stint in a rehab center, 30 days of community service and 18 months of therapy for the hit-and-run incident. By May 28, 2015, Lohan completed her probation on the charge.

That incident was the last major legal issue for Lohan, who hasn’t been arrested in six years. Her career has dwindled since the string of arrests and she now lives in London. She did have her own reality TV show, “Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club,” in 2019.

But, the string of arrests shows what can happen when someone is on top of the Hollywood game then repeatedly finds themselves in handcuffs.
